- 200 years ago- cottage industry , small scale production of goods,
village - weaver, cobbler, leather-worker, saddle maker, pottery
mechanization of production - industrial loom
factories appearing in cities
All of these machines were powered by steam engines

The steam was created by heat from burning coal.
coal was king!!!
coal miners -
testimony - give evidence, tell a true story
a staple - basic main food
