Question
who is considered the father of the american industrial revolution? benjamin franklin francis cabot lowell samuel slater rewatch
Samuel Slater brought British textile manufacturing technology to the U.S. in the late 18th century, establishing the first successful water-powered cotton mill in America, which is why he is known as the father of the American Industrial Revolution. Benjamin Franklin was a key figure in American founding and science, not industrial revolution leadership. Francis Cabot Lowell developed integrated textile mills later, but Slater is credited as the foundational figure.
