The Industrial Revolution entirely changed the economy of the United States, transforming it to a largely agricultural and plantation based economy to one heavily reliant on factories, production, and urban development. Large businesses became central to the economy, whereas previously small businesses were far more important and prevalent. Inventions such as the steam engine, electricity, and railroads, made it far easier to produce vast amounts of manufactured goods and transport them long distances, which again aided in the rapid development of the economy. The building of railroads all across the country made it possible for farms in Middle America to sell goods to the more heavily populated East Coast, which again greatly aided in their development and growth. It also created a far larger financial sector, which would eventually become the largest in the world by the beginning of the 20th century. The vast amount of resources, workers, and capital available to large businesses made it possible for the American economy to grow exponentially during this period, making the U.S one of the most wealthy and productive nations int the world.

Robert Kennedy was attorney general during his brother John F. Kennedy's administration.
As attorney general, he fought organized crime and was a key supporter of the Civil Rights Movement.
In 1953 Kennedy became an advisor to the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations under Senator Joseph McCarthy. Kennedy left the position just six months later, objecting to McCarthy’s unjust investigative tactics.
In 1960 Kennedy managed brother John’s presidential campaign. When JFK was elected, Robert was made U.S. attorney general and became one of JFK’s closest cabinet advisors. When JFK was assassinated in 1963, Robert resigned as attorney general the following September and announced his intent to run for a senate seat.
In 1968 Kennedy ran against Eugene McCarthy in the presidential election primaries. On June 5, 1968, following his victory speech at the California Democratic Primary at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Kennedy was shot several times by gunman Sirhan Sirhan. He died the next day at age 42, his promising presidential administration over before it began.
