US History - Out of Many Ch 12

In the early United States, as a patriarchal society,
Women and children were legally considered the man's property.

Lowell's cotton mill, opened in 1814,
Was partly the result of industrial espionage.

Interchangeable parts
Became famous with the rifle from the Springfield, Massachusetts, national armory.

When the putting-out system was adopted for shoe manufacturing in Lynn, Massachusetts,
The production soon became specialized for a national market.

Mechanization
Led to more piecework, longer hours, and lower pay for women.

Workers under industrialization differed from those in the putting-out system in that
They had to adjust to power-driven machinery.

The social order which ranked people according to occupation and status in the 18th century
Began to break down in the early 1800s and was replaced by an order based on wealth.

Brought one of the first public demands for government regulation.
