What were the factors that transformed the american economy from agrarian to industrial?

History

Nata [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

Agriculture to Industry

Industrialization is defined by the movement from primarily agrarian labor toward urbanized, mass-producing industrial labor. This transformation corresponds with rising marginal productivity and rising real wages, albeit not consistently or equally.

According to the 1790 U.S. Census, more than 90% of all American laborers worked in farming. The productivity—and corresponding real wages—of farm labor was very low. Factory jobs tended to offer wage rates that were several times higher than farm rates. Workers eagerly moved from low-paying, hard labor in the sun to relatively high-paying, hard labor in industrial factories.

By 1890, the number of non-farm workers had overtaken the number of farmers in the U.S. This trend continued into the 20th century; farmers made up just 2.6% of the U.S. labor force in 1990.

What were Roman accomplishments in art and architecture?
Darina [25.2K]
Roman art refers to the visual arts made in Ancient Rome and in the territories of the Roman Empire. Roman art includes architecture (duh), painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving, ivory carvings, and glass are sometimes considered in modern terms to be minor forms of Roman art,[1] although this would not necessarily have been the case for contemporaries. Sculpture was perhaps considered as the highest form of art by Romans, but figure painting was also very highly regarded. The two forms have had very contrasting rates of survival, with a very large body of sculpture surviving from about the 1st century BC onward, though very little from before, but very little painting at all remains, and probably nothing that a contemporary would have considered to be of the highest quality.

Ancient Roman pottery was not a luxury product, but a vast production of "fine wares" in terra sigillata were decorated with reliefs that reflected the latest taste, and provided a large group in society with stylish objects at what was evidently an affordable price. Roman coins were an important means of propaganda, and have survived in enormous numbers.
