Samuel Slater
Samuel Slater was born in Belper, Derbyshire, England on June 9, 1768. He became involved in the textile industry at the age 14. Samuel Slater worked in the industry for 8 years, which is why he is an English-American industrialist. Mr. Slater is known as the “Father of the American Industrial Revolution”, a phrase brought up by Andrew Jackson. He also was known as “Father of the American Factory System” and “Slater the Traitor” (In the UK) because he brought the British textile technology to America with a few modifications. Slater began the Textile industry all by himself. By the end of Slater’s life he owned thirteen spinning mills, established tenant farms, and towns around his textile mills such as Slatersville, Rhode Island. Slatersville was one of his first mill villages.
Many political and economic people knew him. The fact that he is the “Father of the American Industrial Revolution” puts him on top of everyone. He revived American Industrialism and the creation of the Textile industry. When Andrew Jackson met him in one of his mills, he gave him the name “Father of the American Industrial Revolution”. Slater was a hero in the Industrial area of America and the face of the economy at his time. He deserves the right to debate in the trial, as we all know he is a genius in economics. He can argue about the topic relating to economics.
