Working conditions..... SUCK

Can you believe it? I'm literally working my ass off for fifteen hours with only a 40 minute break throughout the day. My friend Danny got fired for being 4 minutes late! It's ridiculous. The children are also getting abused because they were to slow. Even the girls were abused, the scares can prove it. And the dust in the mines are so concentrated. I can't believe that they think we're happy workers. The children are not always smiling!

We live in a nasty place....

Has anyone realized the conditions we live in? They suck!
Talk about over crowding.... I'm questioning the theory if disease is spread by air...... because we really need some windows in here. My brother got sick last night and I'm just questioning why. It might be that smell of our "left overs" in the bathroom. We need to get rid of that.

great....... MORE INVENTIONS!

TRANSPORTATION!!!!
With the high grade iron, people are building new machines and new industries, especially for transportation. People have invented the steam boat and railroads! New jobs are available to build railways. These railways are creating cheap ways to transport goodies! That's the reason why they're so cheap now! =] better for us. Businesses are doing well, that's why you see so many new markets! Our economies doing fantastic! By the way, these trains can go up to 55 mph. It's like a rocket. These transportation creations also help in communication. Instead of yelling out words, boats and trains are transporting mail and news.

That's me on the train. Pretty handsome huh?

Steam Engines to a whole new level

These steam engines are running on coal, that's why coal production seems to be so grand these days. This is leading to a new development for stronger iron! A guy named Henry Cort figured out a way to make iron stronger! He invented the process of puddling! According to my research, coke, which is material derived from coal, was used to clean the impurities in crude iron. The outcome, high quality iron.
Below is a picture of a puddling furnace.

Getting out of the water?

Apparently in the 1760s some Scottish engineer, James Watt, built a steam engine that pumped water from mines three times as quickly. He also crated a rotary engine which would be used to drive machinery with steam power! We are getting out of the water people! Steam power can finally be used to spin and weave cotton. These steam engines are powered by coal, that's why we see all the factories moving away from the waters.

Cotton Gin!

-1793
The cotton gin is a very useful creation! made by Eli Whitney. It separates all the cotton fibers and seedpods.

POWER Loom!!!!!!

-1787
This might be the best one yet! Its the power loom! It was created by Edmund Cartwright. It makes textiles to be made much faster than if human hands made them! The only problem is that it's powered by water power. That is why you see all the factories are near moving waters.
