Answer:

Samuel Slater

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1790, Samuel Slater, a cotton spinner's apprentice who left England the year before with the secrets of textile machinery, built a factory from memory to produce spindles of yarn. The factory had 72 spindles, powered by nine children pushing foot treadles, soon replaced by water power.
