How did manufacturing and the nature of work change in the united states after 1820?

Although the South changed radically during the opening years of the nineteenth century, one thing persisted: the economy remained rooted in people’s homes. Before the 1820s, households in the North also produced most of the things they used. For example, more than 60 percent of the clothing that Americans wore was spun from raw fibers and sewn by women in their own homes. Some householders even crafted sophisticated items—furniture, clocks, and tools—but skilled artisans usually made such products. These craftsmen, too, usually worked in their homes, assisted by family members and an extended family of artisan employees: apprentices and journey men.

Beginning with the cotton-spinning plants that sprang up during the War of 1812, textile manufacturing led the way in pushing production in a radical new direction. From 1820 onward, manufacturing increasingly moved out of the home and into factories
