The Manchester Revolution

The Manchester Revolution refers to the dramatic changes in industry and society during the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the city of Manchester, England. From the late 18th to the early 19th century, Manchester became a hub for textile manufacturing, fueled by innovations like the power loom and spinning jenny. This rapid industrial growth led to urbanization, as people moved from rural areas to work in factories. It also sparked social changes, including labor movements advocating for workers' rights and improved living conditions, making Manchester a symbol of both industrial progress and its accompanying challenges.
