were built a secret, but people went
there to learn about them and bring
the techniques back to their countries.
The first countries after Britain to
develop factories and railways were
Belgium, Switzerland, and France.
 Important Innovations Took Place During
the Industrial Revolution

- The first ever cotton mill was built after Samuel Slater
brought Britain's manufacturing technology to the United
States.

- In 1869, the first transcontinental railroad was

completed and was a major accomplishment for the U.S.

- During the American Industrial Revolution, Samuel

Morse created the telegraph, which sent electric signals
over a wire allowing the nation to communicate.

and "Sam the Slate" because he brought British textile
