Samuel Slater used a false name when he came to America to protect himself from being recognized as a key figure in the British textile industry. At the time, he was considered a valuable asset due to his knowledge of the British industrial secrets, which were closely guarded. By concealing his identity, Slater aimed to avoid legal repercussions and potential capture by British authorities, allowing him to successfully establish his own textile manufacturing business in the United States.
