Industrialization 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

sometimes referred to as an age of robber barons. “Like those old German barons who, from their eyries along the Rhine, swooped down upon the commerce of the noble river and wrung tribute from every passenger that floated by,” Raymond wrote, “Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt . . . has insisted that the Pacific Company should pay him toll, taken of all America that had business with California.” Railroad builders in particular, needing political influence to build their railways, became adept at influencing

political career. The Scipionic epitaph of Scipio Baratus details the successes of a great Roman, who 's honour and bravery, as well as his occupation of the Aedileship, and the Consulship ultimately helped spring board the career of his son "Lucius Cornelius Scipio" . From this we can see that fama, gloria, and a good family background greatly help ones political ambitions, Marius and Cato both came from a "Plebeian" background of which Marius took pride in going as far as accusing the aristocracy
