WELCOME!
This unit, Lowell and the Industrial Revolution, centers on the formation of Lowell, Massachusetts during the Industrial Revolution in an attempt to answer the overarching question: Was Lowell a utopian industrial society? Students will examine the roles played by Francis Cabot Lowell and the Boston Associates and the reasoning for planning and developing the first “factory town” in America. As students examine the Lowell System and the role of the mill girl they will analyze and interpret personal narratives to determine if Francis Cabot Lowell and his associates were successful in developing the utopian industrial community they envisioned.
