5.1 the rise of industry
The industrialization of America saw unprecedented economic growth between 1865 and 1900. Manufacturing value grew from $2 billion to over $11 billion as industries like iron and steel boomed. This industrial growth was driven by ample natural resources like coal and timber within the U.S., a large influx of immigrant workers providing a workforce, and wave of new inventions including the telephone, light bulb, and refrigerated railcar that helped transform the economy. The U.S. government actively supported this industrialization through policies like tariffs on imports and subsidizing the expansion of the railroad system.
The rise of industry
The United States became the largest industrial country in the world by the early 1900s due to several key factors:
1. Cheap labor from over 20 million European immigrants between 1865-1910 who provided a large industrial workforce.
2. Abundant natural resources such as water, timber, coal, iron and copper which American companies could obtain inexpensively.
3. The development of railroads which linked the nation and expanded markets while also spending on infrastructure to support industrial growth.
4. A laissez-faire government policy with low taxes and few regulations that allowed industry to grow unfettered.
5. Important inventions like the telephone, light bulb, and phonograph that increased productivity

Industrialization & Gilded Age
This document defines key terms related to industrialization and the Gilded Age in the United States, including:
- The Bessemer Process which cheaply made steel starting in the 1850s, enabling the transcontinental railroad finished in 1869.
- Inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison who developed new technologies like the telephone and light bulb.
- The rise of large corporations, monopolies led by figures like John D. Rockefeller, and the social/economic tensions between the wealthy "Captains of Industry" and working classes.
- Early labor organizations that emerged like the Knights of Labor to advocate for workers' rights in the face of low wages and child labor during this period of rapid industrial
The american industrial revolution
The document discusses several important inventions and developments during the American Industrial Revolution including oil discovery, alternating current, the light bulb, telegraph, telephone, railroads, and steel production. Edwin Drake's discovery of oil in Pennsylvania in 1858 provided a key energy source to fuel America's developing industry. Westinghouse improved on Edison's direct current with the invention of safer and more efficient alternating current, allowing electricity to be transmitted over long distances. Samuel Morse developed the telegraph in 1844, allowing the first widespread communication across the growing nation through electric wires. The transcontinental railroad connected the country and spurred further expansion. The Bessemer process for steel production was important as steel replaced iron and was a stronger, more versatile
The Market Revolution
The document discusses the market revolution and manifest destiny in the mid-1800s United States. It describes how the growth of factories, mills, and transportation infrastructure like canals and railroads led to a market revolution where goods were produced for wider commercial markets rather than local self-sufficiency. It also discusses how the concept of manifest destiny and westward expansion led many Americans to believe it was their destiny to settle from coast to coast, which resulted in treaties with Native Americans and the establishment of trails like the Santa Fe and Oregon trails to facilitate westward migration.
The Market Revolution
By the 1850s, the market revolution had transformed the United States into a highly productive industrial nation. Innovations in transportation like canals, railroads, and steamships expanded markets and allowed for widespread trade. As markets grew, manufacturing expanded and many workers left rural farms for urban factory jobs. While economic growth benefited entrepreneurs, workers often faced poor conditions, low pay, and discrimination. They began organizing unions to demand better treatment, though met resistance from employers and courts.
The underground railroad
The Underground Railroad was a network that helped escaped slaves travel to freedom in Canada. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1834 but remained legal in the United States, so many slaves fled north to Canada with assistance from the Underground Railroad, which provided a route and safe houses. Harriet Tubman, who was known as "Moses" to many slaves, helped lead people to freedom using this network.

Finally, it notes how Mumbai became the national center of the Indian film industry.
Industrial
The industrial revolution began in Britain between 1780-1850 and transformed the country's economy. Britain was well-suited for industrialization due to its stable political system, common laws, and centralized market without internal tariffs. Innovations in iron production using coke instead of charcoal and later innovations like steam power, canals, and railroads drove industrial growth. New factories employing women and children worked long hours under difficult conditions. Over time, workers protested and reforms were passed to limit child labor and working hours. The industrial revolution ultimately changed Britain from an agricultural to industrial economic power.

The government supported railroad construction through huge land grants and loans. Thousands of immigrants, including Chinese and Irish workers, built the railroads in dangerous conditions with accidents and diseases. Railroads connected cities and towns, promoting industry, trade, and economic interdependence but also led to corruption like the Credit Mobilier scandal. Farmers organized as Grangers to demand regulation of railroad rates and prices, resulting in early regulatory laws and the Supreme Court upholding state regulation in Munn v. Illinois in 1877. The Interstate Commerce Commission was established in 1887 to regulate railroads
The america in the 19th century
The document summarizes key developments in America during the 19th century. It describes changes in everyday life, technology, transportation, politics, the economy, art, education and immigration. America transitioned from a largely agricultural society to an increasingly industrialized and urbanized nation, while also expanding its territory and dealing with tensions over slavery. Education remained limited for many groups during this transformative period in American history.
TX History Ch 22.1
The document discusses the growth of railroads in Texas in the late 19th century. Railroads helped accelerate Texas' economic development by providing a more reliable and cheaper way to ship goods compared to rivers and roads. To encourage railroad expansion, the state enacted land grant laws that gave railroad companies land to sell in order to finance new track construction. This led to over 30 million acres of public land and 6,000 miles of new track being laid between 1876-1889, connecting more cities and regions across Texas.
The age of railroads
The first transcontinental railroad in the United States was completed in 1869, connecting the Central Pacific and Union Pacific lines with a golden spike. Railroad construction was dangerous, with thousands of workers, including many Chinese and Irish immigrants as well as Civil War veterans, suffering injuries, attacks, and over 2,000 deaths by 1888. The new railroad network divided the country into time zones and enabled goods to be shipped nationwide, spurring economic growth and specialization but also leading to calls for regulation against corporate abuses.

American urbanization & new york city
The Brooklyn Bridge was built in the late 1800s to connect New York City to Brooklyn as the city was expanding rapidly. It took 14 years to complete due to financial and construction challenges but became a symbol of New York City when it opened in 1883. Boss Tweed was a corrupt New York City politician in the late 1800s who defrauded taxpayers of millions through real estate schemes. The Statue of Liberty was originally offered as a gift from France in 1875 but financial issues delayed its construction and unveiling in New York Harbor until 1886.
New York City: The Crossroad of World Trade
1) New York City struggled to remain the economic and cultural center of America but was able to capitalize on developments in other cities. The merger of AOL and Time Warner helped keep New York's headquarters and status.
2) Chicago grew rapidly in the late 19th century, pioneering skyscrapers and urban design. The 1893 World's Fair transformed the city's landscape and civic identity.
3) New York's population exploded in the early and mid-19th century due to immigration and the Erie Canal, leading to overcrowding and slum conditions. Tensions rose during economic crises and the Civil War draft.

During the late 19th century, New York City became a global center of trade and immigration following the Civil War. Cornelius Vanderbilt helped create vast wealth by consolidating rail companies. However, political corruption like that of Boss Tweed also took root. In the 1880s, millions of immigrants from Europe arrived in New York through Ellis Island, transforming the city into a melting pot. Skyscrapers rose to accommodate the growing population, though New York had to adapt to new digital technologies in later years to remain influential.
New york and urbanization
1) In the early 19th century, New York City had a population of less than 170,000 people and was a small, orderly rural community. However, with the construction of the Erie Canal and influx of immigrants, especially Irish fleeing the potato famine, New York grew rapidly to over 1 million residents by the 1850s and became a large, industrialized city.
2) The influx of poor Irish immigrants led to overcrowded slums with disease and poor living conditions, especially in neighborhoods like Five Points. This led to social tensions and the infamous 1863 Draft Riots.
3) By the late 19th century, New York had consolidated with surrounding cities and counties to form the five boroughs of New

Urbanization ch. 10.2
During the late 19th century, rapid urbanization in the United States was enabled by new technologies like steel-framed skyscrapers and elevators, as well as mass transit systems. As cities grew, distinct social classes emerged with the wealthy residing downtown and working classes in crowded tenement housing. Political machines run by bosses provided services to new urban immigrants and the working class in exchange for votes, though they were often corrupt.
New york city
New York City emerged as a center of world trade due to its strategic location and growing capital markets. Leaders harnessed the city's advantages, such as building the Erie Canal, to ensure economic dominance. Between 1870 and 1914, tens of millions of migrants crossed the Atlantic, many settling in New York, fueling its growth. The city attracted workers with wages higher than Europe and availability of land and jobs. New York's control of rivals demonstrates its remarkable ability to benefit from economic developments originating elsewhere.

The gilded age city life
1) By 1900, 40% of Americans lived in cities and towns due to urbanization and the exodus of black workers from southern farms to northern cities. Streetcars replaced horse-drawn carriages and allowed cities to grow larger.
2) Andrew Carnegie built his steel empire in Pittsburgh using vertical integration, selling his company to J.P. Morgan for $400 million in 1900.
3) The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911 killed 145 garment workers, mostly young women, and led to increased union membership and stricter safety regulations.
New york
1. New York had strategic advantages in the 19th century as a port city and growing financial center that its leaders leveraged to transform it into the economic capital of the U.S., such as through creating the Erie Canal to control exports to Europe.
2. After the Industrial Revolution, New York became headquarters for many important television networks as Manhattan centralized the motion picture and television industries.
3. During the period from 1870-1920, millions of immigrants came to the U.S. and greatly increased the urban population, accounting for most of the country's growth and influencing its culture. New York grew significantly through immigration.

American urbanization and New York City's rise in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Between 1870-1914, over 23 million immigrants arrived in the US, many settling in cities where factories and construction provided jobs. New York City's leaders helped it dominate the national economy by building infrastructure like the Erie Canal and establishing industries. New York continued to capture economic gains from other regions, like steel from Pittsburgh and oil from Houston. By the early 20th century, New York had become the nation's economic center, exemplified by landmarks like the Woolworth Building completed in 1913.
Visiting his fi ancée’s Missouri home-stead in 1894, Theod.docx
V
isiting his fi ancée’s Missouri home-
stead in 1894, Theodore Dreiser
was struck by “the spirit of rural
America, its idealism, its dreams.” But this
was an “American tradition in which I,
alas, could not share,” Dreiser wrote. “I
had seen Pittsburgh. I had seen Lithua-
nians and Hungarians in their [alleys] and
hovels. I had seen the girls of the
city — walking the streets at night.” Only
twenty-three years old at the time, Dreiser
would go on to write one of the great
American urban novels, Sister Carrie
(1900), about one young woman in the
army of small-town Americans fl ocking to
the Big City. But Dreiser, part of that army,
already knew that between rural America
and Pittsburgh, an unbridgeable chasm
had opened up.
In 1820, after two hundred years of settlement, the vast majority of Americans
lived in rural areas. After that, decade by decade, the urban population swelled until,
by 1900, one of every fi ve Americans was a city dweller. Nearly 6.5 million people in-
habited just three great cities: New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia (Table 18.1).
The city was where the factories went up and where the new immigrants settled,
constituting one-third of all big-city residents in 1900. Here, too, lived the million-
aires, and a growing white-collar class. For all these people, the city was more than a
place to make a living. It provided the setting for an urban culture unlike anything
seen before in the United States. City people, although differing vastly among them-
selves, became distinctively and recognizably urban.
These vast aggregations
of humanity, where he
who seeks isolation may
find it more truly than
in a desert; where wealth
and poverty touch and
jostle; where one revels
and another starves
within a few feet of each
other — they are the
centers and types of our
civilization.
— Henry George, 1883

Urbanization
“The greater part of our population must live in cities,” declared the Congregational
minister Josiah Strong. And from another writer, “There was no resisting the trend.”
Why this sense of inevitability? Because of another inevitability of American life:
industrialism.
Until the Civil War, cities were the places where goods were bought and sold for
distribution into the interior or out to world markets. Early industry, by contrast,
sprang up mostly in the countryside, where factories had access to water power, nearby
fuel and raw materials, and workers recruited from farms and villages.
As industrialization proceeded, city and factory began to merg ...

This document discusses urbanization and immigration in American cities between 1870-1914. Key points include: millions of immigrants came to the US annually seeking better economic opportunities in cities like New York; immigrants provided a huge source of industrial labor that fueled growth in cities; and immigration slowed during WWI but remained an important factor in urbanization until restriction laws in the 1920s.
New york city_the_crossroad_of_world_trade
1) Manhattan is the most densely populated borough of New York City, located at the mouth of the Hudson River. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 connected New York to markets in the Midwest, fueling the city's growth as an economic center.
2) Alexander Hamilton's policies as the first Secretary of the Treasury, including establishing the Bank of New York, helped establish New York's financial system and attract investment.
3) Iconic New York City skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building were part of a competition in the early 20th century to build the world's tallest building, cementing New York's identity as a global cosmopolis.
Assignment 3
New York City has experienced periods of both prosperity and poverty throughout its history. During times of economic hardship in the 19th century, many New Yorkers lived in extreme poverty on the streets with disease and lack of resources. However, New York also saw growth as a center of trade and industry, making it the richest city through technological advances. Immigrants from Europe helped expand New York's population and workforce in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, though their arrival also led some native-born citizens to fear loss of American culture and identity.
Urbanization & New York City
This document discusses the urbanization of New York City between 1865-1898. It describes how New York saw a financial boom after the Civil War driven by industries like oil, steel, and railroads. Political corruption flourished under Boss Tweed, who embezzled over $50 million for city projects. The gap between wealthy and poor New Yorkers widened significantly during this period. Immigration increased dramatically, filling up tenement housing in poor conditions.

The underdogs
Demetrio Macías, a Mexican peasant, is forced to flee into the mountains and form a rebel group after opposing the local leader. The group supports the Mexican Revolution but struggles under an uncertain cause that changes leadership frequently. Though seeking justice, the rebels end up practicing the same abuses on others. In the end, Macías is left alone, outnumbered by his enemies with no hope for redemption after losing his lover and many men. The book suggests the Mexican people will always be oppressed regardless of who is in power.

Joel Kotkin, a distinguished presidential fellow studying economic growth, describes efforts to rebuild the economic status of cities as shopping moves online. He predicts people will leave large cities for suburbs by 2050. Developers are creating "lifestyle centers" like one in Calabasas, transforming malls into social areas with parks and cafes. Kotkin also suggests building neighborhood networks to create communities, citing a popular parent group in Southern California as an example.
Mini panama
The document summarizes key details about the Panama Canal, including that it is a 400-year-old project located 9 degrees north of the equator where ships must line up to pass through. Locks lift ships up 85 feet using electric locomotives to guide them through, and the locks function like giant elevators for the ships. The pioneers of the canal project faced immense challenges due to diseases in the jungle terrain that caused many worker deaths each month during construction.
Mini california
James Marshall discovered gold in California in 1848 while building a sawmill. When inspecting the construction site, he found shiny pebbles that turned out to be gold after testing. The name California comes from a fictional island in a Spanish book populated by black female warriors ruled by Queen Calafia. William Hammond Hall, California's state engineer in the late 1800s, envisioned developing the state's water resources and published many studies on water projects, making him one of the founders of modern California.
Modern latin america
The document discusses several topics related to Latin American history and politics:
1) The Haitian War for Independence from 1791-1803 began as a conflict between white planters and mixed-race affranchis but became a race war as black slaves joined and came to dominate. Some planters fled to Cuba, spreading racial tensions.
2) Latin American wars for independence in the 1800s stemmed from political, economic, and social grievances under colonial rule, which privileged Europeans and peninsulares over criollos and other classes.
3) Newly independent nations faced the challenge of whether to unite or separate as geographical barriers and sparse populations had kept colonial territories isolated under royal authority. This
Comparative History
The document discusses the economic impact of the Great Depression in the United States and globally between 1929-1933. It notes that most national economies hit bottom by 1933, industrial production fell by about a third in the US and Germany, unemployment rose to about 25% in the US, and over 11,000 American banks failed. The Depression had a devastating worldwide impact and marked the collapse of the capitalist global economy.
Cuban culture
Cuban music is centered around son, which has influenced styles like salsa, rumba, and mambo. Traditional Cuban instruments have origins in Africa and the indigenous Taíno people. Cuban classical music blends European and African influences. Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish and Caribbean cooking, using ingredients like plantains, black beans and rice, and meat dishes cooked with garlic, cumin, and bay leaves. Cuban literature emerged in the 19th century addressing themes of independence, with José Martí leading the Modernist movement and later writers focusing on social protest.
Cuban report
Cuba is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea. Its capital and largest city is Havana. Spanish is the official language and the economy relies heavily on tourism and exports of sugar, tobacco, and nickel. In 1959, Fidel Castro overthrew the Batista regime and established a communist government, which has led Cuba ever since. Cuba has a tropical climate and its economy and infrastructure have been impacted by US sanctions and trade embargoes since the 1960s.

It focuses on the pioneering roles of Count Ferdinand De Lesseps for the Panama Canal and William Mulholland for the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
California part 2
The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when gold was discovered by James Marshall at Sutter's Mill. This led thousands of people to flock to California in hopes of finding gold and making their fortunes. While the Gold Rush transformed California's economy and population, it also exacerbated tensions around the issue of slavery in the newly acquired Western territories. Some southerners brought slaves with them to aid in gold mining, and southern politicians living in California owned slaves and attempted to legalize slavery in the southern portion of the state, but these efforts were unsuccessful.
California Part 1
The document summarizes the history of California through several chapters. It describes how California got its name from the fictional Queen Calafia who ruled the island of California in a 16th century novel. It then discusses the state's geography, climate with warm summers and wet winters, and the Gold Rush beginning in 1848 which transformed California and brought a large population increase. It also outlines early efforts to develop water infrastructure through projects led by engineers William Hammond Hall and the California Development Company to irrigate the state's desert regions.
The Little Ice Age
The Little Ice Age was a period of cooling that occurred between 1550 and 1850 AD. It consisted of three particularly cold intervals separated by slight warming periods, with temperatures dropping most significantly around 1650, 1770, and 1850. Evidence from glaciers and historical records show increased glaciation and colder winters in many regions, including parts of Europe and North America, during this time. Low solar activity may have contributed to the cooler temperatures, coinciding with the Maunder Minimum from 1645-1715.
American Colonies
The English colonies were initially settled by Puritan ministers like Richard Mather who helped establish the Puritan dynasty in New England through his grandson Cotton Mather. The Puritans first established small settlements in Maine but were driven out by Indian hostility. Later, the Puritans founded the town of Plymouth in Massachusetts Bay. The New England colonies divided land among town corporations rather than individuals, relying on family labor since they could not afford slaves. Family life was divided along gender lines with men doing outdoor work and women maintaining households, while marriage was seen as both romantic and economic.

Family life involved gendered divisions of labor between male outdoor tasks and female household duties, and marriage was seen as both a romantic and economic partnership.
Paul Reveres Ride
The document summarizes Paul Revere's famous midnight ride to warn colonists of an impending British attack. It describes how General Gage planned to strike rebel leaders secretly and with minimal bloodshed. Paul Revere and others worked to spread word of the British movement through the countryside to muster colonial militias in towns like Lexington and Concord. However, Revere was eventually captured by British soldiers after encountering them on the road. Meanwhile, other riders like Doctor Prescott continued raising alarms across eastern Massachusetts to prepare defenses against the British troops.

It describes how British troops secretly crossed the Charles River under General Gage's orders to strike rebel leaders. Paul Revere and others worked to spread the alarm by riding from town to town, warning the colonial militia. However, Revere was eventually surrounded and captured by British soldiers after spotting their ambush. Despite this, other riders like Doctor Prescott continued raising the alarm, mobilizing the colonial forces in towns like Lexington and Concord to prepare to face the advancing British troops.
The American Revolution
The document discusses several topics related to the American Revolution:
- The financial burden of the English wars with France led to a large national debt for England.
- The War of Spanish Succession destabilized the relationship between European powers and weakened their control over America.
- Pirates operated out of ports in places like Jamaica, attacking Spanish ships and sometimes engaging in conflict with each other.
- Newspapers started being brought to the colonies from England in the 1730s to inform colonists of overseas news and events.
- England passed laws like the Navigation Acts to force trade within its empire and make trade more complex and regulated.
Jesuit Relations
The Jesuit Relations were annual reports published by French Jesuit missionaries in New France (Canada) between 1632 and 1673. They provided details on the missionaries' encounters with indigenous peoples, descriptions of their cultures and customs, and efforts to convert them to Catholicism. They also recorded events like disease outbreaks and natural phenomena. One of the earliest Relations focused on the Montagnais and Algonquins peoples and their seasonal lifeways. The Relations included first-hand accounts of martyrdoms like that of Father Isaac Jogues, who was killed after being accused of sorcery during his mission work with the Iroquois. They also described indigenous figures like Kateri Tekawith

- 4. •Between 1845-1855 Ireland had a Potato famine, this caused over a million Irish immigrants to flee to American in search of work and means of living. However residents of New York didn’t take kindly to this, they soon created anti Catholic camps to dissuade Irish from entering. •Irish and African Americans were forced to take the hard jobs that no one else wanted. The Americans soon grew to hiring Irish men over the blacks, this was the beginning of Discrimination in New York , and years later the problems were solved.
- 5. The end of the Civil War! New York now began to rebuild itself. Railroads became a more important project for Americans to complete. The Hudson river froze, resulting in a hault to commerce in Manhattan and New York. The invention of the camera arrived and brought light to how some people in the city actually lived.
- 6. The Brooklyn Bridge! › Construction began in 1870. John Roebling was the chief engineer of this project. However he died from an infection in his foot caused by it being crushed against a piling during a construction survey he was doing. After his death, his soon Washington Roebling took charge of the project and completed the bridge in 1883. This bridge was 1,600 feet long and about 275 feet high.

Boston and Philadelphia challenged New York for the claim of the U.S.’s “main center of commerce” New York had many advantages though- they were not only a large port (thus could easily access shipments or importing and exporting goods) but they also had many growing markets.

- 9. Chicago is the fastest growing city in America, they had a successful railroad industry. They were among the first to use technology such as the telephone, cable cars, electric trolleys, and elevators. These means of public transportation were both affordable and successful in their growth of the city.

The parks consisted of small zoo’s, fields, lakes, and amphitheaters. Chicagos true success came from hosting the World’s Columbian Expo in 1893.
- 11. Skyscrapers! › Most cities in the United States looked relatively the same. Long straight streets, office buildings, and neighborhoods. › Chicago had a great fire in 1871, and afterwards they rebuilt their city with electric trolleys and steel framed Skyscrapers. › The first steel framed building was built in 1892. It was 22 stories tall. This made way for neighborhoods to now be converted into apartment buildings and other confined means of housing the growing population in cities.
