The Virginia Resolves declared the principle of "no taxation without representation". The Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament to help pay for the French and Indian War. American colonists were affected by these taxes as part of the British empire. In the Virginia Resolves, Virginians protested the Stamp Act, and argued that they should not have to pay taxes to the British government when they did not have representatives in Parliament to speak for them. Hence, the phrase "no taxation with representation" became a key principle in the colonists' struggle for independence.

In 1800 it was possible to have a sustained growth of wealth that allowed the transition to a wide use of innovative machines, especially in transport and work, abandoning animal traction and production based on manual labor.
During the second industrial revolution The exponential development of railways, while structuring a new model of international trade based on the specialized production of each country and the exchange of materials from standardized prices, also enabled huge migratory movements, like boiler boats that even transported large masses of people on intercontinental trips, as was the case of the 55 million Europeans who migrated to North America between 1850 and 1940.
The cause of the great migrations during the second industrial revolution was, mainly, the tremendous demographic growth that there was in Europe during the eighteenth century, which in turn had different causes.

The late 19th-century United States is probably best known for the vast expansion of its industrial plant and output. At the heart of these huge increases was the mass production of goods by machines. This process was first introduced and perfected by British textile manufacturers.
