Robert Bakewell: The Industrial Revolution
During the 18th Century, England went through a significant growth known as the Industrial Revolution.This revolution paved the way for new machinery and technologies that simplified everyday life. It also proved to be so significant that even during the 21st Century the world is still feeling the effects. Modern day technology continues to benefit from the strides made during this time. At this time, the Industrial Revolution developed machines that resulted in many jobs and task that were more convenient for people.
A new farming system was created for an agricultural revolution that provided larger quantities of crops, which fed the increase of population. Farmers had made a discovery of crop rotation system that allowed them to leave half …show more content…
His popular animal that he was known for was sheeps and cattle. Bakewell kept genealogical records of the animals, that created more livestock of breeded animals. The purpose of this method was to improve better quality and meat production from these breeded animals. Since, the Agricultural Revolution had begun the increase of meat production in England was magnificent. That farmers had a smaller amount of work to do and had more time in their hands. Farmers were able to go to the city and leave the farm earlier. The development of machines helped people in England gather ideas that helped them think of inventing locomotives. Locomotives are a powered rail vehicle that is used for pulling trains. The use of steam was one of the most important changes at this time. There were three main inventions, which were the steam engine, steamboat, and steam-powered train. In 1769, James Watt improved the steam engine and its main purpose was to create a new source of power. The early model was to drain water and raise coal from the mines the main purpose was to use it for steam power. Then in 1807, Robert Fulton created the first steamboat using a steam power that changed the speed in which helped materials move from different colonies of Britain. Later in 1814, Stephenson then used the steam engine to help create the steam-powered train. This allowed an increase in communication and trade between places before it went too
