What impact did the Industrial Revolution have on American society between 1870 and 1940?
Was it largely beneficial or not? Or was its impact more mixed? In your answer, be sure to
consider the economic, social, and environmental consequences of industrialization.
Solution
Before the industrial revolution. America was an agrarian society. Almost everyone farmed.
After the Industrial revolution, more people lived in cities and worked in factories than ever
before. Cities grew larger and more crowded, which prompted the rise of better transportation,
land speculation, real estate boom. The standard of living rose.
The Industrial Revolution was a big turning point in American history. It changed the whole
composition of families who had too move to the city so that they could work. It was one of the
main contributions to the growth of cities. Frankly speaking early Industries weren't too fond of
their workers either so this also led to the rise of labor unions that 'til this day still exist (your
teacher is probably part of one). Big picture is that Industrial Revolution eventually led to the
transportation revolution and also reduced the cost of production leading to mass production and
cheaper items for Americans
Considering the impact of the Industrial Revolution on American society is both complicated as
well as interesting for the reason there are countless social issues to examine when analyzing the
impact that this milestone era had upon the citizens of America. Primarily, though, the
consequence of the Industrial Revolution is that, by means of making more effective the
manufactured goods' production, it aided to trim down the commodities costs for consumers,
therefore allowing a number of items once measured luxuries to turn out to be within reach for
vast sectors of American population. Together with the price structures reducing for a number of
items, from crop tools to furniture to textiles, Americans took in a high standard of living.
The increase in living standard of Americans translated to the nation's general public enjoying
more amenities and conveniences for a comparatively economical cost. Moreover, the economy
of the nation enjoyed spurts of outstanding growth all through this era on account of exports and
consumer spending. One more advantage of the Industrial Revolution in this regard is that
several jobs were created to fulfill the requirements of machinery operation and assembly lines.
