The General Motor Corporation And Alfred Sloan

Henry Ford, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Andrew Carnegie were captains of industry and helped shape America into what it is today. A Captain of Industry is someone who is beneficial to America. While Ford, Vanderbilt, and Carnegie were all in different businesses, they still were able to benefit each other. Vanderbilt helped to transport people from place to place, which boosted the transportation industry. Under his influence, Ford was able to produce automobiles. Vanderbilt and Ford both used Carnegie’s steel to build train tracks and cars. These men all contributed to current American transportation, technology, and businesses. Without them, the United States of America would not have evolved into what it is today. In fact, U.S. steel and

     Let us first look at Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie was a mogul in the steel industry. Carnegie

Early industrialist were some of the richest people on earth. Their business created countless jobs and spurred growth in a country devastated by civil war. America was growing at an unprecedented rate, but at what cost.

Henry Ford was credited the most for the automobile. His assembly line made Model T was inexpensive and therefore was more available to the "common man." New technology attributed to the new attitudes and demands.

Andrew Carnegie in my opinion had the biggest impact on America today with his steel making business because of the idea it gave people on how to build and construct buildings and bridges that we see today. For example the Eiffel Tower, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Empire State Building etc. As you can see steel is a predominant material used in construction. Also some of Carnegies conditions in his factories led to some of the most none strike in US history.

In the nineteenth century two of the greatest entrepreneurs were born. These two men, Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller epitomized the word monopoly, by becoming the biggest industry giants of their time. Carnegie was the leader of the steel industry, while Rockefeller controlled oil. Both of these men were similar; they came from humble beginnings and showed interest in their careers at a young age.

In terms of the industrialization of America, Andrew Carnegie was the most influential character in the series of videos watched in class. Carnegie worked his way up from being a poor Irish immigrant to become one of the most famous industrialists that helped transform the U.S steel industry in the late 19th century. While other industrialists helped people expand across the country, Carnegie helped to build the country vertically and created large cities. From and economic standpoint, Carnegie aided in the expansion of America from the ground up, and he also helped expand the country through the steel in railroads. Although John Rockefeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt greatly helped America from an economic standpoint, Andrew Carnegie built modern

Throughout the developing stages of the United states, many people played very key parts in their way of dealing with industrialization and helping our country grow. Andrew Carnegie is the man known for taking over the steel industry. Carnegie had done his research and planning to try to take over the steel industry. Rockefeller is another big name that will be remembered as the man who took over the oil industry. Rockefeller was a man of his patience and wisdom to force his competition out of business instead of taking over. Now, Rockefeller and Carnegie are two names that sit a top of a fence. Robber Barons on one side and Captains of Industry on the other.

The American Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 20th century brought about a big change to the way the United States operated. It called for long work hours, and high output. The Industrial revolution was influenced by the men known as, “The Robber Barons” or “The Captains of Industry.” These men Included; Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Davison Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, John Pierpont Morgan, and Andrew William Mellon. These Captains of Industry and Robber Barons would never have gained the level of influence and power that they had achieved if they had not acquired great wealth.

Even though Andrew Carnegie played a huge role in creating the technology that would later help shape america, I believe that John Rockefeller and his oil company has
