Industrial Revolution in Britain began in the 1760’s and it wasn’t until the early 1800’s that the revolution came to the United States. Prior to the revolution, Great Britain maintained reasonable livelihood from their own land in an agrarian manner. The revolution jeopardized many farmers with land closures causing loss of agricultural livelihood. During this same period, producers needed to overcome downfalls of domestic production. Producers reassessed the market, and as populations and mechanical means of production grew, so did the accessibility of world trade. Factory productions completely changed society’s framework, and wage earning was born. The wage earning change was irreversible as labor then became a commodity that could be traded.
