Samuel Slater is known for illegally bringing British textile manufacturing technology to the United States. He had worked in a British factory and memorized the designs of the machines, which were protected by British law at the time. Upon emigrating to the U.S., he replicated these machines and established his own textile factory in Rhode Island, effectively violating the British laws against exporting industrial secrets. His actions played a significant role in the onset of the American Industrial Revolution.
