2) The introduction of the steam engine enabled Britain to manufacture cloth more cheaply than elsewhere, though it put many people out of work.
3) This led to a shifting of the population from south to north, since it was rich in natural resources.
This brougt to the constructions of small towns to house the workers.
4) As there were no regulations concerning wages, working conditions, and hours of work, workers started to destroy machinery.
5) The worst of these episodes were due to the Luddites, whose name derived from Ned Ludd, the leader of the riots.
