Well, eight graders 100 years ago are now mostly today's grannies and grandpas. they were taught grammar for 1 hour, arithmetic for 1.25 hours, their U.S. history for 45 minutes, Orthography for 1 hour, geography. in total this will take 4 hours and 10 minutes for 1 school day. the 8th-grade year is 1 year. and the school (work) for an eighth-grader at that time was very difficult with the subjects. for one, in today we have only taken grammar (ELA), arithmetic,(MATH) U.S. history, Geography(SOCIAL STUDIES) and we have sadly left out Orthography or it is something I can't relate it to.

Which of these major changes was the most important during the industrial revolution
arlik [135]

Answer:

The Industrial Revolution was the transition from 1760 to 1820 to 1840 to new production processes in Europe and the United States.

Explanation:

This transition consists of the transfer from manufacturing to machinery, new processes for the production of chemical substances and iron production, the growing application of steam and water, machine tools, and the increase of the mechanized factory system. The Industrial Revolution also led to an ever-increasing population growth rate.

An important turning point in history is the Industrial Revolution; almost every aspect of the life of the day has somehow been affected. The average revenue and population, in particular, began to show continuous growth without precedent.

Mechanized steam-driven cotton spinning increased worker output by a factor of approximately 500. The power loom increases a worker's output by more than 40 times.

Damp engines' efficiency increased so that between 1/50 and 1/10 of their fuel was used. They were adapted to industrial use by adapting stationary steam engines to rotary movement.

How the federal government and city government changed their role?
OLga [1]
<span>During the Great Depression, the role of the federal government changed tremendously.  Before the Depression hit, the federal government did little or nothing to help people financially.  This was not seen as something the government ought to do.  With the Depression came a change in this perception.  President Roosevelt's New Deal made government responsible for helping people in many ways.  These ways ranged from guaranteeing that they would not lose money they had deposited in.
Hope that this will help you out.
