When cottage industries started to disappear, what most likely changed was the honor bound tradition of the self-employed craftsman. These skilled craftsmen were increasingly overshadowed by manufacturers who could create the same product in factories in much less time, thus overtaking the market for a product once made with great care relatively slowly. If the skilled craftsman wanted to keep working but did not have the staff or managerial skills to compete with a factory, he or she would have to be retrained to work on a machine that produced the same or similar product that he or she made before. The craftsman, in order to keep working competitively, would have to participate in an endeavor that originated in someone else's mind. Craftsmen did not have the training that factory managers had because it was not needed on such a small scale. With the loss of creative and managerial control came the loss of status the craftsmen once enjoyed, with factory owners and managers replacing craftsmen as part of the new middle class.
