A Technical and Business Revolution : American Woolens to 1832, Paperback / softback Book

A Technical and Business Revolution : American Woolens to 1832 Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The Industrial Revolution series

Paperback / softback

Description

This title, first published in 1986, develops the story of American woollen manufacture reaching far back in time to establish the very traditional nature of the fabrication of woollen cloths.

Although traditional techniques changed slowly, particularly in England, circumstances and conditions changed rapidly in the United States during the Napoleonic Wars.

Americans had more surplus capital to invest; they had abundant natural resources; and many American merchants and manufacturers sought independence from European goods and services.

This title will be of interest to students of economic and American history.
