The factory system is a method of manufacturing using machinery and division of labour. Because of the high capital cost of machinery and factory buildings, factories are typically owned by capitalists wmho employ the operative labour. Use of machinery with the division of labor reduced the required skill level of workers and also increased the output per worker.

The factory system was first adopted in Britain at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century and later spread around the world.[1] It replaced the putting-out system. The main characteristic of the factory system is the use of machinery, originally powered by water or steam and later by electricity. Other characteristics of the system mostly derive from the use of machinery or economies of scale, the centralization of factories, and standardization of interchangeable parts.

2. When British expeditors entered Pontiac's camp on July 31.

3. In 1764 when the British Colonels succeeded at a peace agreement with the Native Indians

4.  When Pontiac was unable to get support from France and ended up signing a treaty with Britain in 1766.

Explanation:

Pontiac began his mission to reclaim, the lands captured by the British after the Seven Years War between Britain and France. He was not happy with the style of rulership by the British people for he felt that they were too hard on them. That was why he set out on a mission to convince the Native Indians to join him in his quest to reclaim their forts from the British people.

He was however unable to achieve his mission for several reasons which began with the divulging of his plans to the British Camp. The British people were able to gain entrance into his camp and weakened their forces. The also made peace agreements with the Native Americans. All of these weakened Pontiac's goals and then he finally yielded when he signed a treaty with Britain in 1766.
