  • The revolution started in Great Britain and eventually made its way into the United States.
  • The Industrial Revolution affected the social aspects of the United States because many people began coming here to work in the factories and relocate to cities, causing the cities to become more populated.
  • Although the lower classes of society sometimes suffered, most people enjoyed more success after the revolution.
  • Eventually, almost all of human society would be affected by the Industrial Revolution.

Coal

 
  • Coal is mainly used as a solid fuel for heating and electricity.
  • Coal is pulled from the earth through by mining, although this caused much harm to the earth.
  • At the time of the Industrial Revolution, coal was used to heat water.
  • As more and more factories came about, more people would come from the countryside to work in them.
  • By burning the coal, it produced a lot of dirty smoke that would steam out and pollute the air.
