Hello and welcome to BrainMass today!
You logged in and asked for help with a series of questions and to create charts. For some reason, I am not able to generate a chart and successfully post it to you because of software issues (I think) so instead, I am going to provide what you need for each column of the chart. As well, after each section, you will find the citations for the sources used. I posted the citations this way so that you can see what was used and where.

b. In the second column, provide a brief explanation on how it changed the economy.
Column Two
The Industrial Revolution was a time when production of goods by use of machines began to spread throughout the world, which opened up new job opportunities for millions of people and began a revolution from an agricultural society to a manufacturing society. With this change, people left their farm land and moved to places where there was work. This changed the economy because, for the first time in history, people had steady incomes and were able to use that income to buy food and other products from manufactures. This, in turn, lead to the demand for more products to be produced. With a demand for more products, new job opportunities were created. With these new jobs, even more people had money to purchase food and products. This cycle of prosperity and spending is what generated a strong economy.
