Francis Cabot Lowell helped launch the factory system in America. Lowell visited textile mills in Britain. While there, he learned about the machines and processes that made it successful. Back in his hotel room, he made drawings of the machinery and factories that he visited. When he returned to Massachusetts, Lowell borrowed $400,000 and expanded on Samuel Slater’s mill. The new factory system put all stages of making cloth under one roof. This saved on production time, cost, and increased efficiency. Just found this in my text book, so you would be correct. Thank you so much.
