The Industrial Revolution was a process that was seen fondly by the majority of the people. This process meant huge development, much higher efficiency in the production, cheaper, quicker, and in higher quantities. In other words, the Industrial Revolution resulted in economic boom in the industrialized countries. The production of goods was taking place in factories, which were enormous and employed thousands of people in them. While this was all good for the development, some people were left without their jobs and were forced to work either in the newly created factories or in something else. These people were the artisans. The artisans were skillful people that had workshops and were producing lot of different goods for the other people, but with the industrialization they became non-competitive, as the machines in the factories managed to produce the same things, faster, in higher amounts, and cheaper.
The Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917 and 1918 were highly controversial in that they limited American freedoms with the hope of averting the entrance of spies into the country.
