11:00 7/10 "The Testimony of Patience Kershaw"

England Industrial Revolution
- mechanized labour - machines do work
- people lost jobs
1800s
- village, weaver, cobbler, cooper, blacksmith, knitter - cottage industries, small scale production

- machines, automated production, factories

- leave your village, go to the city

cashier
driving - self-driving cars
farmer - 

work in factories, dangerous work, little safety standards

these machines, these factories  Where did they get power, energy to run the machines?

steam powered - boiling water

Coal was king!

coal miners

women coal miners

illiterate - cannot read or write
a staple - basic food that you eat every day
