Samuel Slater, often referred to as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution," sneakily left Britain by memorizing the designs of textile machinery and escaping to the United States in 1789. He disguised his intentions by working in a cotton mill, where he absorbed knowledge about the machinery. Upon arriving in America, he partnered with other entrepreneurs to establish the first successful water-powered cotton mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, thus bringing British industrial technology to the U.S.
