Detailed explanation-1: -The beginning of industrialization in the United States is usually pegged to the opening of a textile mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1793 by the recent English immigrant Samuel Slater.
Detailed explanation-2: -Before the Industrial Revolution, textiles were made by hand in the “cottage industry”, where materials would be brought to homes and picked up when the textiles were finished. This allowed for workers to decide their own schedules and was largely unproductive.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Industrial Revolution was said to have started in 18th Century Great Britain since they were also the center of the Agricultural Revolution a few years prior. Historians have concluded that no one event started the revolution but that it took place between 1760 and 1830.
