<u>Question 1:</u>
Henry Ford worked at a sawmill before moving to Detroit in 1891, where he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. He was promoted to chief engineer only two years later. When not working at the company, Ford spent time working on a gasoline-powered horseless carriage (the automobile) in the shed behind his home. His "quadricycle" was completed in 1896.
Ford sold his prototype, and after receiving backing from several investors, he formed the Detroit Automobile Company (later the Henry Ford Company) in 1899. He left the company in 1902. The company became the Cadillac Motor Car Company and Ford established the new Ford Motor Company.
A month after this new company was established, the first Ford cars were assembled in Detroit. Model T made its debut in October 1908. As a result of the high demand, Ford put into practice techniques of mass production such as a moving assembly line and standarized parts. This allowed production to be faster and cars to be cheaper. It also allowed Ford to raise the wages of his workers.
<u>Question 2:</u>
Ford's production started in Detroit, and the success of the automobile industry caused an enormous population rise in the city. In 1927, Ford moved his production to a massive industrial complex built along the banks of the River Rouge in Dearborn, Michigan. To this day, the city of Detroit is strongly associated in people's minds with the automobile industry.

The act, which imposed a tax on all paper documents in the colonies, came at a time when the British Empire was deep in debt from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) and looking to its North American colonies as a revenue source.
