Poor families needed work in the Antebellum period (pre Civil War). Slater's unique methos of running his mills (The Rhode Island Method) allowed entire families to move to one of Slater's mill's without seperating. Families could live in company owned housing and earn wages.
The main resource that led to the Industrial Revolution was the invention of a cotton spinning machine by Samuel Slater. This eventually led to the first American textile mills
Samuel Slater is the man who brought textile factories to the New England area in the late 1700's. He was known as the Father of Standard American Revolution, and was responsible for most factory industry in America.
Working in the textile mills was good for young female Americans because it employed more people. In the beginning, Samuel Slater snuck into America from England and gave us the plans for factories. He built the first one in Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 1790. At first he hired eight children from the ages of 7 to 12 although he did only pay them a low wage, they were still making the money. Afterwards, Slater built a larger mill and started to hire whole families. Their wage was considered good then. However, their wages lowered because of falling profits.
Samuel Slater's accomplishments include: * building the first water powered textile mill in the United States * becoming known as the "Father of the American Sunday School System" by establishing youth bible classes in his mills * established a factory system called the "Rhode Island System," which employed children as young as 7 years old, but provided training not only in the factory work but in reading, writing and the bible.
Hiring families of workers and dividing factory work into simple tasks.
Samuel Slater had problems with transportation from industry to market in his mills. He built more factories near the bigger cities to get product moving.

Samuel Slator invented the Textile mill,and Henry Miller Shreve invented it too.
Samuel Slater implemented a factory system in Rhode Island that introduced new employment practices such as hiring whole families, employing children, and using strict discipline and oversight. This system helped the mills increase efficiency, lower costs, and maintain a stable and compliant workforce. These practices became widespread in other mills and had a significant impact on early industrialization in the United States.

This came straight out of my American History book. In 1789 Samuel Slater came to America from England. In Rhode Island Slater built factories that had spinning machines. Before long there were many textile mills in the North. This came off of Google. Samuel Slater was an English American.
They opened textile mills that employed many workers.
