Along with those aspects, other factors helped lead to England to their Industrial Revolution. One of those was a revolution in agriculture, which happened because of new crops, changing methods of growing crops, and the breeding animals. Because of that, production increased along with profits, which lead to fewer people producing food, and more families moving to urban centers. Also with more food being produced, this lead to declining food prices, which allowed for people to buy manufactured goods (Sherman and Salisbury). This caused a demand for manufactured goods, but the old methods of production could not keep up and were too costly. Because of that, inventors and entrepreneurs introduced new machines and methods to meet the new standards of production and mass assembly which were influenced by the introduction of new markets.

Two markets that were greatly influenced and changed by the Industrial Revolution were the cotton and iron industry. This is because inventors came up with new inventions such as the flying shuttle, spinning jenny, and the power loom in the 1700's and early 1800's for cotton, and the an efficient way to smelt iron with coal in a blast furnace for iron (Hackett). With those new inventions and methods, a high demand for power was needed, and this was accomplished by the steam engine which would become the industrial revolution's most important technological advance (Sherman and Salisbury). More and more advancements were done to the steam engine, which allowed factories in the 1800's to have a reliable source of power and be even bigger. Bigger factories meant a need for a bigger work force, and this need created the factory system. The factory system had workers who produced goods in a repetitive series of steps and specialized tasks and tended rows of machines (Sherman and Salisbury). .

The workers of the factory system were the members and the people who made up most of the working class.
