Question

What made the industrial growth of the late 1800s possible

Answer 1

New inventions and new technology help our big businesses grow and develop during the Industrial Revolution. Many of the new inventions were machines that made it easier and quicker to produce products. Inventions like the spinning jenny, the sewing machine, and the refrigerated railroad car are examples of inventions that helped produce and helped transport products quicker. These machines were very expensive. It was very difficult for an individual to purchase these machines. Also the big immigration growth spiked causes a big rise in employment, this may have been a factor in industrial growth. There we big advances in transportation systems. During the period of Industrialization the process of mechanization in the factories not only reduced the number of workers required but also allowed skilled workers to be replaced by semi-skilled or completely unskilled workers.
