Causes of the Industrial Revolution: Before the revolution, farmers were the main source. When more people relied on farmers, inventors made farming machines to make farming faster and efficient. Britain, later on, had an abundance of cotton, so inventors made looms, spinning jenny, cotton mills, and factories for textiles
Seed Drill
allowed farmers to sow seeds in well-spaced rows at
specific depths. A larger share of the seeds took root, boosting crop yields.
Flying shuttle
In 1733, a machinist named John Kay made
a shuttle that sped back and forth on wheels. This flying shuttle, a boat-shaped piece of wood to which yarn was attached, doubled the work a weaver could do in a day.
