Describe advances in railroads: It began in the US in 1820, the railroads cost less to build than ships and it moved way faster than the ships plus it could carry more weight.
Describe advances in industry including Samuel Slater: He built the first water powered textile mill from memory.
Describe the inventions of Sam Morse and Eli Whitney: Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin which would make it easier to pick out the seeds of cotton instead of doing it by hand. Then Sam Morse created the electric telegraph allowing others to communicate over distance.

Bell Ringer: How long does the young women work in the Lowell Mill each day? What effect do you think work would have on a young person each day?
The women worked from 7 to 7:30 each day at the Mill. For some it would have been fun because the women are actually give and task but it would tire them very much. Doing hard labor is very tough and then doing the same thing everyday could bore someone to death.
Exit Ticket: In today’s lesson I learned that during the Revolution, roads were improved to transport goods. Then, they started building steam boats for goods to be transported faster. After that steam boats and the roads improved, they began to build railroads for trains, which seem to be a little more faster and they could carry more weight.

The Patriot Essay Question
“The Patriot” showed the difficulties during the time of the American Revolution. The hardships the colonist had to suffer under the dictation of the British government. The way the colonist had to fight for their own independence through battle and by battle the tactics that were used and provided by Benjamin Martin. He helped the military skills and tactics to be better for the soldiers to win the battle against the British.
Benjamin Martin changed the tactics of battle during the war against the British forces. The tactics that were being used by the military did not help them in any way. The soldiers would march up to the battle field while facing the enemy and shoot themselves until the last one was standing. They would not move but just stand there while refilling on ammo and during that time the soldiers would get killed by the British. These tactics could not help them but only get them killed and that was not good enough. The colonist needed to win this battle against the British to gain their independence from their unfair ruling.
Benjamin Martin had a fighting style that was different but yet made much more sense. He would hide inside the woods and shoot from a random place, so that the British could get confused and not understand where the shot came from. Also, he taught the colonist how to ambush a group of troops to help them have more advantage on the war. The number of British soldiers seem too decreased by the tactics of Benjamin Martin, it help the colonist fight better in battle. This tactic was way more effective then that last one, for it help them stunned the British. The British could not see what was coming from the colonist and the surprises that lied ahead. This tactics Benjamin Martin used to help the colonist became an effective way to fight the British and it became the new tactic for the colonial army.

The Patriot Essay Question
“The Patriot” showed the difficulties during the time of the American Revolution. The hardships the colonist had to suffer under the dictation of the British government. The way the colonist had to fight for their own independence through battle and by battle the tactics that were used and provided by Benjamin Martin. He helped the military skills and tactics to be better for the soldiers to win the battle against the British.
Benjamin Martin changed the tactics of battle during the war against the British forces. The tactics that were being used by the military did not help them in any way. The soldiers would march up to the battle field while facing the enemy and shoot themselves until the last one was standing. They would not move but just stand there while refilling on ammo and during that time the soldiers would get killed by the British. These tactics could not help them but only get them killed and that was not good enough. The colonist needed to win this battle against the British to gain their independence from their unfair ruling.
Benjamin Martin had a fighting style that was different but yet made much more sense. He would hide inside the woods and shoot from a random place, so that the British could get confused and not understand where the shot came from. Also, he taught the colonist how to ambush a group of troops to help them have more advantage on the war. The number of British soldiers seem too decreased by the tactics of Benjamin Martin, it help the colonist fight better in battle. This tactic was way more effective then that last one, for it help them stunned the British. The British could not see what was coming from the colonist and the surprises that lied ahead. This tactics Benjamin Martin used to help the colonist became an effective way to fight the British and it became the new tactic for the colonial army.
