jan 1, 1820 - Causation: (4.5): The Market Revolution

Description:

Entrepreneurs created a Market Revolution in production and commerce in 1820s to 1830s.

During the Market Revolution, The Country was getting stronger by economics. New factories were made and the country faced industrialization. At this time people started to work in factories for wages known as capitalism.

In this Era Textile mill was one of the most important factories in the country, this was the first time that women were able to work outside the house. The Textile Mill factory was built in Massachusetts by a guy named Lowell.

Lowell created a Factory system in which single women would work in textile factories and live in the factory. Lowell decided to use a female instead of male because of the following reasons:
- Women were better at sewing and working with textiles than men.
- It was the first time that women could have a job outside their houses.
- Women had the opportunity to be far from their families and be able to make money.
- Men had better chances in life than women.

Although in Lowell system women faced many types of problems such as being sexually abused, long hours work, being disrespected, not being able to talk during work time. (Kind of Slavery)

Meanwhile in the South, people started to focus a lot on cotton. Taking out seeds from cotton was an intensive labor work but it increased economic trade between Europe and Latin America, plus it was useful for textiles as well.
