In an era prior to the safe roads, all the people used the rivers to transport their goods, since it was much faster and safer than going in carabanas by the desertic roads, and full of bandits; In addition, the country's rivers, such as the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Missouri River, and Illinois, were used as a means of transportation and also to link to man-made canals, such as a waterway, by which farmers in Louisiana and many states found this form of transportation very useful and became so popular that large channels were formed that united important cities such as the Eirie Channel connecting New York to the Atlantic market.

Did the Industrial Revolution bring about more changes than the Age of Democratic Revolutions.
kap26 [50]
Hello Emarkley! 

<span>“The term ‘industrial revolution’ refers to the shift of an economy from one in which most of its production is agriculturally based to one based on the mechanized manufacturing of goods in large-scale enterprises.”
</span>

This causes:

–         increased productivity and per capita incomes

–         the movement of people from rural to urban areas

–         substation of machine power for human labor in many kinds of work

The first industrial revolution began in England in the mid to late 1700s.  Signs of industrialization were evident in New England beginning in the early 1800s but dramatic shifts did not occur until after the civil war.

Three major causes for the shift in the U.S.:

–         development and improvement of coal-powered steam engines (1769), which was more powerful than former power sources being humans, wood and water

–         mechanized ways to produce textiles

–         coal powered furnaces that mass produced iron

The industrial revolution created a new class – the capitalists – the owners of the factory plants and other physical means of industrial production.  Also creating a new class of industrial workers who were employed at these factories.

The industrial revolution took major roots during and post Civil War.  “Congress in the 1860s enacted a series of legislative measure that encouraged industrialization and economic development, including new protective tariffs, banking reforms, and support for a transcontinental railroad.”  Additionally, demands from the war stimulated the growth of industries to produce war time products.  (18)

Post civil war was more of a 2nd Industrial Revolution.  Two major developments spurred this change:

<span>completion of national transportation and communications networks (canals, roads, steamships and railroads, telegraph, telephone) including the construction of a nationwide railroad networkuse of electricity as a source of power (major asset to urbanization)</span>

Between 1860 and 1916 the percentage of city dwellers jumped from 10% to 50%

“Rapid industrialization raised the question of whether America’s republican ideals could survive in a meaningful way, whether industrial growth contributed positively or negatively to American’s society, and whether political and economic institutions needed to be reformed in response to the changes sweeping America’s economy.” (21)

Pros:

–         labor saving devices

–         more consumer goods

–         skyscrapers

–         declinging prices in industrial products

–         opportunity for workers and capitalists

–         growing population

–         increased average life expectancy

–         trend toward lower working hours
