Question

What was the result of increased demand for manufactured goods in Great Britain?

How did the idea of interchangeable parts lead to mass production?
Whose contributions do you think were more important- Slater’s textile machines or Whitney’s interchangeable parts? Why?

Answer 1

Interchangeable parts sped up mass production. Why Britain had more factories than the U.S. Because British manufacturers had plenty of factory workers with technical skills, they could produce large amounts of goods less expensively than most American businesses could.
