In 1775, James Watt's steam engine sparked the Industrial Revolution by creating a new mechanism for powering locomotives and machinery. This made it possible to build factories and run machinery even when no water power was available. It also inspired Robert Fulton to launch steamboats on the Hudson River in 1807, opening the door for transatlantic travel. The steam engine led to the development of the electric motor in 1888 and the diesel engine in 1892, which fueled the development of the auto industry.

Samuel Morse invented the telegraph in 1836, a major technological development in communication. This device used electromagnetic currents to create codes that could be transmitted great distances via paper strips, leading Cyrus Field to invent the transatlantic cable in 1866, and Alexander Graham Bell to make the first telephone call in 1876.

Other developments of the Industrial Revolution that increased industrial productivity were Eli Whitney's cotton gin in 1798, Elias Howe's sewing machine in 1844, and Thomas Edison's harnessing of electricity to create the first light bulb in 1879.

Read the excerpt from "A Defence of Poetry.”
Volgvan

Timeless. Shelley understands poetry as something closer to a concept, an idea that is separated, so therefore unchanged by, time & space; at the same time understanding all minds as something that relates to one another, so the poetry stands for her as something that can reach and touch people's minds way more than a narrative could.

How was the question of New Mexico's eastern boundary finally settled?​
n200080 [17]

<u>Answer</u>:

During the 1846 Mexican-American War, the U.S. provisional government of New Mexico was established. But during this time the boundaries of the new state was ambiguous.

During the 1850s, a new boundary proposal was made prohibiting slavery. This request was approved and simultaneously the territory of Utah was created in the north. But finally the boundaries of New Mexico were set by the Compromise of 1850. The United States Congress in September of the same year established officially the New Mexico territory and the Utah territory.

How did the women's suffrage movement begin?
ankoles [38]
The women's suffrage movement in the US started when women no longer were content to not have voting rights in elections. It was an approximately 100 year struggle to achieve these rights and finally in 1920 the 19th amendment of the US constitution gave the franchise to all American women so they were eventually victorious.
