“We are the nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set limits to our onward march?” -John L. O'Sullivan- During the 1800 to 1860, North and South America had a lot of happening America changed a lot and developed a lot in Economics, Politicals and Social parts. In Economic parts are Industrial Revolution , textile, invented Cotton Gin, Slavery and Labor and In political parts are Market Revolution, WHIGS, Banking System, National Republican and Republicans and in Social parts are Population, Free Soil and Slave. The Growth of northern industry was North America did industry revolution at 1800s, they developed textile and agriculture. And also James Watt invented Steam Power so North America could make a lot of textiles because …show more content…
And people used coal for make iron, steel and elecricity.So they have to delliver coal to other cities that is why they needed Railroad so North America developed Railroad and built Railroad a lot more than South America. North America built Railroad and theirs Santa Fe Trail and California Trail. Santa Fe Trail was connected from Missouri to New Mexico and California Trail was across the wetern half of North America from Missouri River to California town. Also California had a lot of Gold so many people came to get Gold so it called Gold Rush and they needed trail for delevering Gold so North American built a lot of tails. Because they needed deliver gold to other town so that tails numbers were more than two times than South America. The Growth of Southern industry was South America developed cotton gin at 1794 by Eli Whitney so that cotton gin could work faster than person so their Agriculture was developed a lot. And that time slavery was in South America so when they did cotton buisness all slavery cultivated cotton for owner but than after invented cotton gin they could make a lot of cotton each day because cotton has seed but that seed is hard to pull out so that took time so long but after invented cotton gin, they could just put bunch of cotton in the cotton gin and just spin the machine.And only South America had good and nice ground to grow Cotton and Rice so they could develop agriculture a
The “Iron Horse” also known as the “Transcontinental Railroad” has started to take effect on the Sioux Native Americans. Taking a look at the effects, they look more on the unfavorable side. Not only do the Sioux live in an undeterminable world for themselves, they also don’t know what this giant “horse” really is and does. The reason the railroad was built was to connect the Eastern and Western parts of the country.
Imagine if, instead of paying for products you wanted with money, you traded or bartered for them. Also imagine if you lived on a farm and produced most of what you needed to live yourself. If the market revolution never took place, most of us might still be living on farms and trading with acquaintances for a few products we could not produce ourselves. The market revolution changed all this. Happening roughly between 1800 and the 1840s, the market revolution was a series of gradual transformations that began the process where the majority of Americans no longer lived in the countryside and worked as small yeoman farmers or skilled artisan workers, but instead lived in cities and worked in factories.
Factory production eventually diversified. They assembled a wide variety of items, such as clocks, shoes, watches, guns, sewing machines, and agricultural machines. As the states developed, trade started increasing. The many cities in the North became centers of trade, including New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. People started investing in trade ventures and new industries.
After the War of 1812, there were many events occurring in the United States and the national unity and growth had changed since then. The creation of the first water-powered mill introduced a faster way of production. With this discovery, the north quickly created other factories that would implant this technology and created a chain of fast producing mills. However, the south had to keep up with the alarming amount of cotton being consumed by the mills to create cloth. To keep up, they bought huge amounts of slaves to work at plantations and ultimately they also invented the cotton gin which allowed the slaves to clean cotton in the least amount of time.
Inevitably lead to the distortion of food all along the west. Population exceedingly grew as people started to move to other places due to how simple it was to arrive at that destination. People living in San Francisco moved to California. This became a trend where the transcontinental road was used to take people to various places very quickly, especially california because of the gold found
The 19th century was an era of dramatic change in the lives of African Americans. By the early 1800s, cotton was the most profitable cash crop, and slave owners focused on clearing lands and securing laborers to proliferate cotton production. The lack of available, fertile land in coastal areas compelled the move into the southern interior, sparking a massive westward migration of planters and slaves. The demands and rewards of the "King Cotton" economy resulted in a fivefold population increase during the first six decades of the 19th century, but it kept the South an unsophisticated agricultural economy.
During this time, population greatly increased around the world due to the improvements in technology, medicine, as well as the spread of crops after the Columbian Exchange. Population increase and urbanization led to the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Britain was the perfect place for the birth of the Industrial Revolution for it had raw materials (iron, coal), a stable government, and was close to water. In a matter of years, the Industrial Revolution had spread around the world to places such as Germany, Russia, Japan, and the United States, creating trade focused on manufacturing goods such as cotton textiles, and lead to the inventions of the railroad, steam engine, telegraph, and steamboat. Trade among the Atlantic Basin was no longer focused on cash crops and agricultural products, but shifted to new technologies and manufactured products created because of the Industrial Revolution, with Latin America as an exception, for it did not become
The end of the United States Civil War in 1865 should have guaranteed emancipation for freedmen, however the unjust treatment as well as legal persecution, did not ensure success in their future. The development of the country as an industrial state divided the North and South, once again, via economic and racial tensions. As cities became more populated and those who controlled different industries, such as railroads, became more wealthy, organized labor and attempts for reform grew. The Civil War ended with the Southern Confederacy conceding at the hands of the union generals.
During the 1800 many individuals shaped what we call today the American society and culture. Many settlers’ didn’t know how impactful this would affect in today’s society. Some of the greatest example that changed America was Roger Williams, Alexander Hamilton, Nathanael Greene, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Rolfe, William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, and least but not last Thomas Paine. They became well recognized during the 1800 due to their major judgments such as religious issues, politically, economically, and founding new lands in America. In addition, they also left a legacy for many founded colonies in the United States.
Regional & Economic Growth Assessment The North and South were both different and similar in how they operated. They were mostly based on the categories of transportation, agriculture, geography/climate, labor/industry, and society during the early 1800’s. These categories decided how much the North and South would progress as the country continued to grow. Geography/Climate In the North, they had all the four seasons of fall, winter, spring, and summer.
The lack of convenience transportation creating the opportunity for people to build a railroad. The railroad arrived at 1880s and it is marked as one of the key turning points in the Pacific Northwest. With the introduction of railroads in the area, it increased the economics of the Pacific Northwest by using the railroads as a transportation that’s makes them able to travel faster. The railroads exported the Northwest and also imported the East to the Northwest. Conquering distance, railroads is able to disseminate the modernizing ways of the 19th century.
Important technological inventions such as the Cotton Gin had been invented before the Civil War to help move the agricultural economy along. However, in the Gilded Age, multiple inventions and changes were made politically, economically, and technologically for the ag economy to endure. Therefore, there were a multitude of good and bad movements for the agriculture economy in this time period. The Assembly Line was one of the many useful inventions created in the Gilded Age.
Between 1800 and 1860 two major things changed within the country. The cash crops changed from tobacco and rice to the new money maker cotton. Along with the crops changing the slave trade grew to replace the economic short fall in the Chesapeake area. These changed occurred due to the supply and demand of commonly bought goods. Another contributing factor for the crops changing was the invention of the cotton gin in 1793 and the use of cotton in textile facilities.
The industrial revolution was the beginning of America 's first step in her constant race of exploration. The success that transportation brought to America provided new political advances and opportunities. Transportation allowed nationwide unity to become an idea as Americans realized that their fellow northern or southern citizen suddenly wasn 't so far away. Goods became more accessible and distribution of these demanded goods was made easier. Classes of people began to emerge making America more competitive and profitable.
Undoubtedly, America has confronted many adversities throughout its history. Moreover, during the course of these challenges America prevailed, and ultimately formed a nation that has the ability to continuously adapt. There exists a myriad of examples that would support this claim; however, this essay will focus on four major events occurring between the 1860’s and 1920’s. The first event is how the American social status changed before and after Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The second event is how the Civil War played a role in creating a need for Reconstruction, and how Reconstruction culminated in the Industrial Revolution.
