English factory workers brought their knowledge to America.
Skilled workers (and a few enterprising Americans) carried designs and techniques across the Atlantic — the classic example is Samuel Slater, who memorized textile machinery in England and reproduced it in the U.S. There was some industrial espionage and illegal transfer of plans, and later Americans and investors adapted and improved technologies, but the primary spread came from people who brought know‑how with them.
