The Effects on the Industrial Revolution


The Industrial Revolution has many positive and negative effects.

Positive Effects:

· During the Industrial Revolution many new inventions were invented, which we have today.

· It increased the living standards for people.

· In New England the machines were water powered which is good because they don’t need to produce the water, it’s natural.

· The commodity made things cheaper.

Negative Effects:

· Many people died because they could not support their family.

· Women had to work in factories, but they were not paid, because they were paid as a family with the husband.

· Children had to work because they were smaller, weren’t paid, and easily beaten.

· In New England the machines were water powered which is bad because it pollutes the river, and the water might run out.
