Answer: James Watt / Thomas Newcomen
Explanation:
- The two names that are most responsible for the use of steam in the industry. The original steam engine was modified in 1712 but was later refined by James Watt, who was credited with the invention. The invention was a revolution in traffic, and a steam engine, except on land, was also used to launch ships (steamboat).
- Mentioned in 1712, Thomas Newcomen is the person who was responsible for the construction of the steam-pumped atmospheric pump. His invention worked for much of the eighteenth century but was not economical. Thanks to the technical refinement by James Watts, a revolution is about to occur in the industry.
Martin Lurther King Jr is by far one of my favourite historical figures. What he did is very inspirational, and teaches many of us (not only the minority) that we can still make a difference, even in times of difficulty.

Answer: D
I hope this helps :)
Part A: Working hours changed from around 14 hours a day before the 1880's to being reduced slowly down to 12, then 10, eventually moving to an 8 hour day. This change allowed for workers to to have more time to sleep and for leisure. Another change was the end of child labor. Similar to the decrease in hours, the minimum age increased over time as well moving from 10 to 16.
Part B: One strategy used by unions to achieve these goals were strikes. Workers would leave the job and picket outside of a job which shut down operations. This tactic did not work at first because there were plenty of workers to fill the jobs. However, when immigration slowed the tactic had more impact with no people to fill the jobs. Some strikes were so large they brought the attention of police forces and the government.
