Westward expansion and industrial growth transformed the United States between 1865 and 1877. Railroads and settlers moved further west, disrupting Native American lands and leading to violence. At the same time, industrialization grew rapidly as big businesses rose and cities swelled with immigrant workers. As the economy industrialized, labor movements emerged to fight for workers' rights, though racism hampered their efforts. All of this change culminated in the Great Uprising of 1877, as workers renewed demands for economic and political power.

Industrial workers in the new economy
Industrial workers in the late 19th century faced difficult working conditions with long hours, low pay, and unsafe environments. Many immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe provided much of the industrial labor force. Despite the hardships, unions like the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor fought for better treatment of workers, though they faced resistance from employers and the government often intervened on the side of management against strikes. Major strikes in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s illustrated the growing tensions between labor and industry as the country modernized.

China introduced market reforms under Deng Xiaoping's leadership to transition to a market economy while maintaining communist rule, starting with decollectivizing agriculture and implementing price reforms to incentivize production, which increased productivity and freed up labor for private rural enterprises, demonstrating China's view that a communist political system can coexist with a market-based economy.
Politics And Developments Of Industry
During the late 19th century Industrial period in the United States:
- Benjamin Harrison won the 1888 presidential election over Grover Cleveland, campaigning to protect American industry with tariffs. Republicans also took control of Congress.
- Several acts and bills were passed, including the Sherman Antitrust Act and Sherman Silver Purchase Act, along with tariffs like the McKinley Tariff that increased prices and caused backlash.
- The 1890s saw a period of economic depression, labor unrest like the Homestead Strike, and the rise of third parties like the Populist Party addressing agrarian issues.
Prog era
The document discusses the industrialization period in the United States known as the Gilded Age and Reform. It occurred from the late 19th century to early 20th century, following the Civil War. Industrialization led to rapid economic growth, driven by cheap immigrant labor and new industries like steel, railroads, and oil. However, this also resulted in issues like urbanization, unsafe working conditions, and inequality. The Progressive movement emerged in response, advocating for reforms to address these challenges through greater government regulation of business and the economy, and expanded social and political rights.

Industrial - Progressive USA
During the period from 1877-1920, the United States experienced rapid industrialization and urbanization. Many Americans moved to cities where factories provided jobs, though workers often lived in poor conditions. New technologies like the assembly line boosted industrial output but also led to concerns about labor conditions. As cities grew, they faced issues with housing, infrastructure, and political corruption. In response, reform movements gained momentum through muckraking journalism and efforts to empower workers through organized labor and unions.
Industrialism
During the Industrial Era from 1877-1882, known as the Gilded Age, industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller amassed great wealth through industries like steel and oil. Labor unrest grew as workers faced difficult conditions and low pay without protections. Both farmers and workers organized movements and unions to advocate for economic reforms and government regulation of large businesses. As more Americans moved to cities, urban poverty and slums grew due to lack of policies around housing, healthcare, and workers' rights. Women and African Americans faced continued discrimination and worked to gain more rights and opportunities through new organizations.

CHAPTER 3
The Nineteenth Century, Part II:
The Establishment of a
Colonial L.abor System
For every empire built in Arizona upon a for-
tune in high grade ore, ten empires were built
by men who discovered low grade ores and a
fortune in Mexican labor.
-Joseph Park
THE THIRD MAJOR DEVELOPMENT that affected Chicanos in the nineteenth
century was the emergence of a racially stratified labor force in the Southwest.
To put this situation in proper perspective, however, it is necessary to have
some idea of how the American economy as a whole was developing during
this period and how the economy of the Southwest fit into the picture.
THE ECONOMY
The major transformation in the American economy during the second
half of the century was its industrialization. By the 1890s the manufacturing
sector bad expanded to the point that the United States was the leading
industrial power in the world. In the words of Carl Degler, during this period
''a nation of small property owners ... became a nation in which most men
bad little or no connection with the land, were largely without property, and
worked for other men" (Degler, 1967, p. 2).
Several factors had gone into this transformation. Important technologi-
cal developments bad resulted in a spreading use of machinery. The energy
resources of the country had been greatly expanded. Substantial amounts of
developmental capital had poured in from Europe, adding to the capital that
was accumulated domestically. In addition, the Civil War resulted in consoli-
dation of the national power of the northern industrial and commercial class

Week two, gilded age
The Gilded Age saw a transformation of America from a rural, agricultural nation to an industrialized, urban nation with large-scale immigration. The population increased 300% and manufacturing grew 1000% between 1865-1920. New corporate structures like trusts and holding companies consolidated power, leading some businessmen like Carnegie to amass huge fortunes while others like Gould were widely hated. Labor unions arose but were suppressed. Government was largely corrupt and served business interests through subsidies and lax regulation. Westward expansion displaced Native Americans and Mexican-Americans, and Chinese immigrants faced discrimination. The period was defined by social Darwinism and economic individualism.

Knights Of Labor Research Paper
The Knights of Labor was a labor union formed in 1869 that fought for workers' rights such as an 8-hour workday, abolition of child labor, equal pay, and political reforms. It included both skilled and unskilled workers of all backgrounds. While it grew significantly under leader Terence Powderly, achieving over 700,000 members, it ultimately declined due to internal divisions and pressure from employers' associations lacking government protections for unions. The Knights of Labor nonetheless helped inspire future labor laws and holidays like Labor Day that improved conditions for American workers.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
