Define industrial revolution using your own words! not a book or online definition.

The Industrial Revolution was a major technological, social and economic transformation, which started about 300 years ago. It was rooted in scientific discoveries and technical innovations that produced a significant shift in the global economy, moving it from an agricultural-based economy to a manufactured-based economy. This generated an exponential exploitation of natural resources and an accelerated growth in global human population, which led to the increase of the number of people living in urban centers, in detriment of those living in rural areas, as it was common for millennia since the Neolithic Revolution took place, about 12,000 years ago.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
