The industrial revolution was a process that was changing the countries, their development, their actions, and economies. Once the United States started to industrialize, the economy immediately started to have a significant growth. The industrialization also made the United States much more economically independent. The reason why this led to bigger economic independence was that the United States where now able to manufacture the goods themselves. Prior to the industrial revolution, the United States mostly provided raw materials and goods, large portion of which were later manufactured in Europe and sold for much higher prices. With the industrialization, the United States were able to do them themselves, thus they were not dependent on other countries to buy their raw materials and goods, but instead they were manufacturing them and selling them around the world.
