Samuel Slater
Samuel Slater (June 9, 1768 – April 21, 1835) was an early English-American industrialist known as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution" (a phrase coined by Andrew Jackson) and the "Father of the American Factory System." In the UK he was called "Slater the Traitor" 〔 because he brought British textile technology to America, modifying it for United States use. He learned textile machinery as an apprentice to a pioneer in the British industry. Immigrating to the United States at the age of 21, he designed the first textile mills, and later went into business for himself, developing a family business with his sons. A wealthy man, he eventually owned thirteen spinning mills, and had developed tenant farms and company towns around his textile mills, such as Slatersville, Rhode Island.
==Early life==
Samuel Slater was born in Belper, Derbyshire, England on June 9, 1768, the fifth son of a farming family of eight children. Samuel received a basic education at a school run by a Mr. Jackson in Belper.〔Everett et al. (Slater Study Group) (2006) ''"Samuel Slater - Hero or Traitor?"'' Milford, Derbyshire: Maypole Promotions〕 At age ten he began work at the cotton mill opened that year by Jedediah Strutt using the water frame pioneered by Richard Arkwright at nearby Cromford Mill. In 1782, his father died and his family indentured Samuel as an apprentice to Strutt.〔A possible cause of confusion may be that some old British textbooks record that Slater was at New Mills in Cheshire, now in Derbyshire. His indentures, however, are in the possession of the Arkwright Society and clearly record his being apprenticed at "New Mills in the Parish of Duffield" - present day Milford, Derbyshire〕 Slater was well-trained by Strutt. By age 21 he had gained a thorough knowledge of the organisation and practice of cotton spinning.
Hearing of the American interest in developing similar machines, and aware of British laws against exporting the designs, he memorized as much as he could and departed for New York in 1789. Some people of Belper called him "Slater the Traitor", as they considered his move as a betrayal of the town where many earned their living at Strutt's mills.〔("Samuel Slater: American hero or British traitor?" ), BBC, 22 September 2011.〕
