Urbanization During The Pre-Civil War

(Pg. 142, Massey) However in the United States, the industrial revolution did not occur until about early nineteenth century. The industrial revolution brought three significant developments that would later lead to urbanization. The first being transportation or more so the expansion of transportation, with the American industrial revolution, came when steam engine trains were created. Trains allowed for people travel from one end of the country to the other, making it easier for young adults and others to break away from their family and start a life all of their own. The second significant development was electricity or to be more precise electric generators and other ways to safely and successfully harness power. With this came elevators and the ability to create massive skyscrapers. (Pg. 149, Massey) Making it possible for cities to grow to size that before were unimaginable. The amount of people living in these urban cities skyrocketed. The third and final significant development that would eventually lead to urbanization was the creation of factories. More so the ability to break down production into smaller steps allowing plants to produce more at a lower cost. Which eventually would lead to the division of labor. (Pg. 143,

Northern industrialization increased quickly after the War Of 1812. Industrialized manufacturing began in New England, where wealthy merchants built water-powered textile mills and mill towns to reinforce them, along the Northeast Rivers. The mills made known new modes of production centralized within the confines of the mill itself. Productions depended on mechanized sources with waterpower, and eventually steam, to provide the force needed to drive machines. In the late eighteenth and nineteenth century, vendors in the Northeast and elsewhere turned their attention as never before to the interests of using inexperienced wage labor to make more profit by reducing labor costs. They used the putting out system which the British had employed

When the Civil War was declared over, the United States became a better nation because of the Constitutional Amendments that were passed outlawing slavery and giving the government as well as the state the ability to serve and protect everyone. This paper will also show major aspects of industrialization and its effects that it had on the U.S. economy. The three (3) major aspects of industrialization between 1865-1920 that influenced the economy was (1) Urbanization, Industrialization and urbanization went hand in hand. By the

Throughout the 19th century, industrialization was a turning point in the United States that led to huge changes in society, economics and politics. The incoming growth of factories had positives and negatives effects. Two specific changes were the new government regulations and the increasing immigration. These changes were extremely important because they settled the bases of the country.

Industrialization after the Civil War was a major component in creating the advanced world we live in today. The industrial revolution connected America through transportation, leading to easier communication. It shifted how the process of business went about allowing productivity to skyrocket. Industrialization changed how the average person lived their life with their family and how they earned money to provide for that family. Political control was superseded by the wealthy. It shifted the majority of workers from agricultural positions to industrial ones. Finally, it urbanized American society, so that we could eventually become a super power of a nation.

The American Industrialization was a time in American history when there was many advancements in the lives of Americans. Industrialization happened after the Reconstruction period and lasted until the 1910’s. This time period turned America from a primarily agricultural country into a factory based economy. The rise of factories lead to a rise of big cities. There were many factories leading to industrialization, including Immigration, the entrepreneurial spirit of captains of industry, the spirit of robber barons, and the rise of Labor Unions.

The early industrialization in the United States in the mid 1800s made a significant impact on the development of the culture, economy, and technological advances of our nation. Industrialization made a powerful legacy on production, production value, and labor forces which eventually evolved the economy itself. The shift from subsistence farming to a market-led economy led to fewer farmers, and a more factory based workforce which hired a great deal of women who were able to get financial independence.

The industrialization in America began in the 1800’s and 1900’s. It was a period in time of rapid growth and development. New automobiles and ideas were being created, and some changed the world forever.

The Industrial Revolution in America, which peaked from 1870 to 1914, changed how the country did many things from the beginning to now. The Revolution was kick started when Samuel Slater brought manufacturing technologies from the United Kingdom to the United States. He founded the first cotton mill, which was powered by water. This confined the industrial companies to the North. Since that led to most of the industries being in the North, many new ways of transportation popped up. This fueled trading and income for the United States. Many inventions were made to help improve the peoples ' everyday lives. The combination of iron and steel resulted in more railroads

Industrialization in America resulted in many successes of the 20th century as we see them today. Without the industrial growth, there wouldn’t be a technology of computer, or an automobile revolution, or a camera tech, or the improved medicine that was developed. Industrial growth was the most important moments in the history of America, changing the American culture as it was known. Agriculture movement was no longer the business of the day, as factories were introduced all around the country, creating more jobs opportunities and useful products. The Industrial growth in America made the job industry what it is today.

The industrial revolution in America started in late 18th century as the production of goods changed from being handmade in home businesses, to machine crafted products made at factories. This revolution created many jobs which forced families to urbanize to industrial cities. As a result, it created a socioeconomic change of society and the upper, middle and working class were formed. As the frontier were pushed further and further west, Americans discovered that the new lands were rich on natural resources and they started tapping nature from whatever resource it had to offer. Large amount of forest was cut down, oil was pumped out of the ground in large amounts/volume and mills and mines were built to exploit the raw material which was huge

During the industrial Revolution, there were changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology, which profoundly affected social and economic conditions in the United States. Between 1800 and 1820, additional industrial tools emerged

Between early 1800s and late 1900s industrialization expanded in the United States faster than ever before. Industrialization, meaning manufacturing in factory using machines. Machines replaced hand labor as the main means of manufacturing. Industrialization provided more problems because many people were left in poverty, horrible living conditions, and class separation.

The Industrialization brought many changes to the United States after the devastating Civil War , which brought a many losses of life. At the same time, the war helped the country develop even more materialistic. The Industrialization began in the United States in 1865 after the Civil War it went developing for the next five decades. The first transactional railroad was completed in 1869 by workers from China that were paid poorly . There was many more inventions throughout the Industrialization from 1869-1914 that helped the Nation developed. The Industrialization was a process that helped the economy transform into something better and individual laborers are replaced by mass production and craftsman by assembly lines, but even though it meant maybe more work to many’s. This affected many due to the poorly paid laborers who worked hard and did not get many advantages from that. It helped in ways that the economy grew even more and better that helped society but not those who were poor. The Industrialization did not much helped many of the workers, who appeared most likely to be immigrants, many of them and their families lived in really bad conditions and had horrible working conditions as well with poor pay for the amount of hours worked, that sometimes those mass productions consisted of child labor.

Industrialization had many different impacts in American history. One of the impacts that industrialization had was increasing wealth in the U.S. Many business managers, and investors/entrepunuer took financial risks of starting factories and they earned many rewards. By factory’s, the overall amount of goods and services started increasing, because of the fact that factory’s can produce goods much faster than a human. However men were still needed to operate the machines, and there were job opportunities. This led to the increase of population in the United States. Many immigrants traveled to the u.s to escape the harsh life’s they have been living, they thought these job opprutinitys were a way to start a new life, a new beginning, this is why industrialization also increased population in the U.S. American ingenuity and also was on the rise and people thought of many new inventions to make life easier. There was also an abundance of resources so they did not need to worry about resources for their inventions.
