Answer 1

Cool...I'm doing a worksheet on it right now. If you don't want to read that much, move down ot the important part.

**********Introduction**************

The agricultural revolution is the advancements of agricultural methods. For example, the "strip" farming method passed down from the Middle Ages was abandoned. Instead, the Parliament sold "common lands" (lands owned by community) to people who can afford them (wealthy farmers). Now, the farms became bankrupt because they had nowhere to grow their crops and graze their cattles. Replacing the three strip method was a more effective way of farming known as the "enclosure" (only workable with large fields), which produced four times as much crops.

Wealthy farms can selectively breed animals to make more "productive" animals, while the small farms can't.

Therefore, the small farms could only be sold to the wealthy farms because they can't compete.

********Important part**********

Ex-farmers who have no jobs went to the cities to look for work. They ended up in large factories. With the enormous amount of labour possible (and advancement in machinery), factories were able to make large amounts of products in a short time. The Industrial Revolution was able to happen.

Okay, I thinks that covers it. And I hope you understand. Now I have to finish my worksheet. (This was a good practice for my final.)

The agricultural revolution, beginning with the cotton gin started a whole line of mechanized machinery that naturally ushered in the industrial revolution.
