INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE NORTH
This chapter was mostly about inventions from 1790-1860. Some of the inventions were the spinning jenny, the steam boat, the steel plow, and the milling machine.

Section 1
The industrial revolution and America
Textiles: cloth
Technology: tools used to produce goods or to do work
Interchangeable parts: process developed by Eli Whitney in the 1790s that called for making each vital part of a me hinge exactly the same
Mass production: efficient production of large numbers of identical goods.
