Agricultural and industrial revolutions
Subsistance farming- growing only what your family needs.
Enclosure movement- starting fencing all the common ground off
Common ground- land owned by everyone
Small families had farms taken and given to larger families in the enclosure movement
Tenant farmers
Those who couldnt be tenant farmers were forced to move
A man named Jethroh Toll was concerned about the amount of seed wasted by hand seeding, so he invented the seed drill, which made it more efficient to plant seed and plant in straight rows, made harvest easier and more efficient
Crop rotation, growing different plants in different areas every year
Changed from wood plows to metal plows, created interchangeable plow, replaceable blades
People moved to cities for work, was no work, because of factors of production, Great Britain volunteered to be the leader of the industrial revolution, had a lot of natural resources, top two were coal and iron ore, three factors of production are resources, land, and labor
Water was another main natural resource, it was important for food, transportation, and mills for energy, the spinning mill wheel powers factories, disadvantages were flooding and drought, rivers also allowed for the spread of ideas
The textile industry exploded, (not literally), created clothing by hand, mechanizing of the clothing industry with the sewing machine
Steam engine is created, could now power boats and trains,

1st Person Rennasaince
My name is Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi and I am a famous sculptor and painter more commonly known as Donatello. I was born in Florence, Italy in 1386. I later died at the age of 80 in Florence, Italy on December 13, 1466. I was mainly famous for my work in Bas-Relief sculpting.
I was educated in Florence in the house of the Martelli family and recieved my early training in the arts and other types of crafting from Lorenzo Ghiberti. I then traveled to Rome to work with Filippo Brunelleschi and made money on the side crafting in goldsmith shops.
Then, I returned to Florence to work on sculptures and a few paintings. Some of the works I completed in Florence include, the seated figure of Saint John the Evangelist, a statue of St. Mark, and St. George. I worked on several other sculptures which included helping Lorenzo Ghiberti with the Statue of the Prophets in front of the Florence Baptistry. One of my most famous works in Florence was the statue of David. I created two versions of the statue, a bronze version, and a marble version. This is not the same statue of David most people know which was carved by Michelangelo. This is the original which portrays David after finishing his battle with Goliath and his head lays severed between his legs.
I spent my final years in Florence where I worked on the Duomo again and sculpted several other statues for the Duomo series of statues which I had created several years earlier. My final commision was to design and sculpt reliefs for the bronze pulpits in the church of San Lorenzo.
