Age of Progress
The Industrial/Agricultural Revolution
1563-1908 AD
Definition Industrial
Revolution A dramatic change in the ways people
earned money and made goods that began in England around the mid-1800s.
People went from making goods in their own homes with simple tools to
making them in large-scale factories with complicated machinery. As a
result, many rural regions became more urban as cities grew rapidly around
the new industrial activity. Source:

The Agricultural
Revoltuion
With the advent of machines and mass production the
agricultural world was turned upside down. Major technological,
agricultural, socioeconomic and cultural changes came to the late 18th and
early 19th century. Both revolutions began in England and rapidly spread
to other parts of the globe. Manual labor was replaced by automation and
mechanization. People moved from the farms to the factory towns in search
of work. Transportation rapidly changed with the introduction of roads,
canals and railroads, so that goods could be easily moved. Every aspect of
our culture was affected in some way as factories replaced the
agricultural systems that dominated our society for thousands of years.
