Chapter 19: The Industrial Age
The document summarizes key developments during the Second Industrial Revolution from 1876-1900 in the United States. It describes how new technologies like the Bessemer process for steel production and the rise of oil and electricity as power sources drove industrial growth. Mass production led to the rise of large corporations in industries like steel, oil, and railroads. This period also saw important inventions in communication and transportation. However, industrialization resulted in difficult working conditions and low wages for laborers, prompting the rise of labor unions to advocate for workers' rights.
W. e. b. du bois and washington

Gilded age politics
The Gilded Age saw the rise of political machines that controlled major cities. Machines offered services to voters in exchange for support and used graft and sometimes election fraud to maintain power.

Reforms eventually aimed to reduce patronage and base civil service on merit rather than political loyalty.

It prompts reflection on whether we have obligations to our fellow humans.
Muckrakers
Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle exposed unsanitary and dangerous conditions in Chicago meatpacking plants through detailed descriptions. Sinclair described meat being shoveled from dirty floors and piled on tables without washing, traveling between rooms in rotten carts and gathering dirt, splinters, and floor filth along the way. When concerns were raised about health risks, managers claimed the meat would later be cooked, eliminating dangers. A contemporary government report also found meat being shoveled into barrels from dirty floors and tables of cooked meat scraps mixed with inedible and contaminated items. Both accounts revealed the filthy and unsafe practices in early 20th century meat production.
America at the turn of the twentieth century

Wealthy industrialists and entrepreneurs like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, and Ford built vast industrial empires in steel, oil, banking, and automobiles through practices like vertical integration and trusts that eliminated competition. New technologies revolutionized areas like transportation, communication, manufacturing, and daily life. However, concerns grew about the power of large trusts and monopolies as well as wealth inequality between the rich industrialists and the working class.
Sojourner truth
Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in 1797 in New York. She escaped slavery in 1826 with her baby and began preaching in Methodist churches in 1829.

John Peter Zenger was a German immigrant and printer of The New York Weekly Journal who published articles accusing the colonial governor of New York, William Cosby, of corruption. When Zenger was charged with libel, Andrew Hamilton argued that truth should be a defense against libel charges. Despite the judge's instructions, the jury returned a not guilty verdict, establishing an important precedent for freedom of the press. This case demonstrated that the press could publish criticisms of public officials without punishment if what was published could be proved true. It helped lay the groundwork for freedom of the press protections in the U.S. Constitution.

Lindbergh went on to make many contributions to aviation technology and conservation efforts later in his life.
African-Americans in World War I
1) In 1917, over 2 million Black men registered for the military draft after the U.S. entered WWI. However, they faced discrimination and were often used as laborers rather than soldiers.
2) Black leader W.E.B. Du Bois urged Black Americans to support the war effort in the hopes it would lead to greater racial equality after the war.
3) When Black soldiers returned from war, they hoped their military service would end discrimination like Jim Crow laws. However, little changed and racism persisted.
Impact of WWI on African Americans & Women
This document summarizes how World War I transformed the roles of women and African Americans in the United States. It discusses the Great Migration of over 500,000 African Americans from the rural South to industrial northern cities to work in war industries. While African American soldiers served in segregated units and faced discrimination, their participation in the war increased racial tensions. The war also opened new opportunities for women as they took on traditionally male roles in factories, mines, and as military nurses. However, racial tensions remained high, as evidenced by the deadly 1919 Chicago Race Riot.
NAACP
The NAACP was founded in 1909 to fight for racial equality and oppose discrimination. In the 1950s, the NAACP pursued multiple strategies, including legal challenges to segregation laws that resulted in important Supreme Court victories banning all-white primaries and segregation on interstate buses. The NAACP also organized early civil rights protests and direct action campaigns to integrate public spaces and end discriminatory practices. While success was mixed, these campaigns increased confidence and laid the groundwork for the larger civil rights movement of the 1960s.
Goliad massacre
The document summarizes key battles and events in South Texas in 1836 during the Texas Revolution. It describes Mexican General Urrea defeating small Texan forces at the Battles of San Patricio and Refugio in late February.

The document notes that following their surrender, Fannin and his men were executed by Santa Anna's forces in the Goliad Massacre on Palm Sunday. It concludes by explaining how the news of these defeats caused widespread panic among Texans, known as the Runaway Scrape, as thousands fled Santa Anna's advancing army.

Sojourner Truth
This document provides biographical information about a black woman who was the first to speak out against slavery. She was born in New York City in 1797 and had five children between 1810-1826, with four surviving. She died in 1883 and many soldiers thought she was very brave for speaking out against slavery.
Ruby Bridges
Ruby Bridges was the first African American student to attend an all-white elementary school in 1960. She was selected by the NAACP to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans at age 6. As an adult, Ruby Bridges went on to write children's books about her experience to promote racial equality and understanding.
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white man on a bus in 1955, which led to her arrest and sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. She fought for equal rights between white and black people and more than 30,000 people came to pay their respects to her when she died in 2005. She was born in 1913 and arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat, though she was not the only African American to be arrested for the same act on buses.
Madame C.J. Walker
Madame C.J. Walker proved that women could achieve great business success at a time when few did. She began by selling her own line of hair care products and trained other women to become business owners as well. Her determination to succeed was remarkable given her difficult childhood experiences of being orphaned at age 7 and raised by her sister.
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist who freed hundreds of slaves through her work on the Underground Railroad and as a spy for the Union Army during the Civil War. She made over 20 trips down south and helped more than 750 slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, she served as a nurse, scout, and spy for the Union Army, where she provided valuable intelligence on Confederate troop movements.
