Explaining TARIFFS with a Textile History Lesson

I'm telling the story of textile manufacturing in the USA so we can have an informed understanding about how we got here. I'll start with Colonial America, the rise of industrialization, the Labor Movement, and why manufacturing left the United States. Then I'll talk about what tariffs mean for the yarn and fiber arts communities. I have lots to talk about! 📚Books to check out at your Local Library 📚 📕 The Age of Homespun: Objects and Stories in the Creation of the American Myth by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich 📗 Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor by Kim Kelly 📘 Worn: A People's History of Clothing by Sofi Thanhauser 🎶 Bread and Roses Folk Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N22OuupuKwc 🔎 Resources Used 🔎 🥖🌹 Bread and Roses Strike of 1912: Two Months in Lawrence, Massachusetts, that Changed Labor History - https://lhrp.georgetown.edu/collections/bread-and-roses-strike-of-1912-two-months-in-lawrence-massachusetts-that-changed-labor-history/ 📷 National Child Labor Committee Collection at the Library of Congress - https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/nclc/ 📝 The Lowell Offering Archive at Harvard - https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:2669789$2b 📝 The Lowell Offering Internet Archive - https://archive.org/search?query=the+lowell@offering 🔥 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire 🎞️ Documentaries To Learn More 🎞️ The True Cost - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3162938/ She Shears - https://www.maoriplus.co.nz/movie/she-shears 🐑 Some American Mills to Check Out 🐑 (add your favorites in the comments!) 🧶 Black Berry Ridge - https://rmtzdq-2b.myshopify.com/ 🧶Mountain Meadow Wool - https://mountainmeadowwool.com/ 🧶Bollman Hat Co. - https://bollmanhats.com/contact-us/wool-scouring/ 🧶Brown Sheep Wool Company - https://brownsheep.com/ 🧶Pendelton Woolen Mill - https://woolenmill.store/ 🧶Faribault Mill - https://www.faribaultmill.com/ __________________________________________________ 🛍️ JillianEve Shop - https://jillianeve-fiber-art.myshopify.com/ ~~ Social Media ~~ 📷 Instagram http://www.instagram.com/jillianevefa 🎉 Patreon https://www.patreon.com/JillianEve 📰 Blog https://www.jillianeve.com ⏰ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jillianevefa?lang=en --- 📧 For business inquiries send an e-mail to [email protected] _________________________________________________ 🎵 Music used in JillianEve videos is licensed through Artlist.io *I use some affiliate links.
