Incorporated in 1847 on the banks of the Merrimack River; Lawrence; Massachusetts; was the final and most ambitious of New England�s planned textile-manufacturing cities developed by the Boston-area entrepreneurs who helped launch the American Industrial Revolution. With a dam and canal system to generate power; by 1912 Lawrence led the world in the production of worsted wool cloth. The Pacific Cotton Mills alone had sales of nearly $10 million and had mechanical equipment capable of producing 800 miles of finished textile fabrics every working day. However; industrial growth was accompanied by worsening health; housing; and working conditions for most of the city�s workers. These were the root causes that led to the long; sometimes violent struggle between people of diverse ethnic groups and languages and the city�s mill owners and overseers. The 1912 strike�known today as the Bread and Roses Strike�became a landmark moment in history.
