Before Industrialization, Americans made their living by farming. Majority of the people lives in rural areas, where they had their fields to grow crops. Most U.S. farmers produce crops and domestic animals together on the same farm.
The Industrial Revolution began when an entrepreneur Samuel Slater arrived in America with the new technology for the textile industry. He is known as the father of the American Industrial Revolution.
Natural resources like coal, timber, and iron contributed to the growth of the industry in the United States. With the availability of the timber helped the industry in construction and wooden production. The coal mining and iron ore helped the industries to grow in America. Coal was necessary for the fuel and iron for manufacturing goods and building industries.
The main reason why the Federalists supported ratifying the constitution is because they believed it would make the United States more powerful and provide the new nation with desperately-needed credit.
