It was another blog disscusion day today. George Washington- He trained 14,000 men for the army.Industrial Revolution- Children worked in factories for their families. Children worked because of cheaper labor, didn't complain and they could fit into smaller spaces. Eli Whitney- Cotton Gin- seperates the cotton from the seeds. Before the cotton gin, they had to use their hands. He invented interchangable musket parts and that's how he made most of his money. The parts can be replaced. The U.S. amry bought 10,000 of them.Civil War and Reconstuction- April 12, opened fire on Fort Sumter. 1861-1865.5 countries that colonized the new world- Britain, France, Spain-big three. Portugal, and The Netherlands-minor two. Vikings first to colonize. Then we watched America the Story of us again.
