Samuel Slater
Samuel Slater (June 9, 1768 - April 21, 1835) was an early English-American industrialist known as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution" (a phrase coined by Andrew Jackson), the "Father of the American Factory System" and "Slater the Traitor" (in the UK)[2] because he brought British textile technology to America with a few modifications fit for America. He learned textile machinery as an apprentice to a pioneer in the British industry. He brought the knowledge to America where he designed the first textile mills, went into business for himself and grew wealthy. By the end of Slater's life he owned thirteen spinning mills and had established tenant farms and towns around his textile mills such as Slatersville and Rhode Island.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Slater

The Englishman who brought his model of a textile industry to America was Samuel Slater. In 1789, he emigrated to the United States and established the first successful water-powered cotton spinning mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, using his knowledge of British textile manufacturing techniques. Slater's contributions are often credited with helping to kickstart the American Industrial Revolution.
In the 1840s, textile mills were primarily built in the northeastern United States, particularly in states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. These locations featured rivers and streams that provided the necessary water power for machinery. The growth of the textile industry in these areas was fueled by the availability of labor, including immigrants, and the establishment of factory towns. Additionally, the region's proximity to raw materials, such as cotton, contributed to the expansion of textile manufacturing.
