Question

Write a one-sentence summary of how the textile industry in Great Britain changed throughout the 1700s.

Answer 1

In the 1600s, Britain used the putting out system, where families would spin and weave the cotton, and skilled artisans would finish it 
Putting out system was to slow, not enough production for increasing population, new inventions would speed it up
Flying shuttle sped up weaving, spinning jenny spun several threads at once, and the water frame used water to power the process
1793- Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin that separated the cotton fibers from the seeds quickly; cotton production increased drastically
Machines doomed putting out system, moved to factories to produce large quantities of goods
