Life on a farm in the 1800s was not easy. ... Around the middle part of the 1800s, most farmers in the Midwest lived in single room log cabins. Injuries were very common while farming with these tools. Though these injuries occured, at least the soil was very rich and full of nutrients.
rhode island was founded as liberal colony, having religious and political freedom, and while massachusetts was founded with that freedom intended, it ended up being founded under a royal charter anyways.
God( religious recruitment)
Gold( they wanted money)

John D. Rockefeller went into business when he was 20, and he picked up his first oil well as a sideline. He soon saw that that was the right horse to ride. Even before automobiles and airplanes laid their heavy claim on oil, it'd begun replacing coal in the power industries.
Andrew Carnegie makes the better hero. He, after all, was part and parcel of the emerging technologies that made our country. And his giving sprang from some deep-seated core of principle. Yet the Rockefeller clan assumed the mantle of public service. They've become political leaders and professional givers -- one died doing anthropological research in New Guinea.
