Excerpt from The Geography of New England

The Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812 checked our commerce, and the con sequent lack of manufactured goods led merchants to invest their idle capital in manufacturing. Water rights were secured at the falls of our large rivers, and dams were built. Rows of factories and streets of tenements soon followed. Thus the cities of Lowell, Lawrence, Manchester, Lewiston, and Holyoke sprang into existence.
