CHAPTER 9
Industrial Transformation in the
North, 1800–1850
Figure 9.1 Five Points (1827), by George Catlin, depicts the infamous Five Points
neighborhood of New York City,
so called because it was centered at the intersection of five streets. Five Points
was home to a polyglot mix of recent
immigrants, freed slaves, and other members of the working class.
Chapter Outline
9.1 Early Industrialization in the Northeast
9.2 A Vibrant Capitalist Republic
9.3 On the Move: The Transportation Revolution
9.4 A New Social Order: Class Divisions
Introduction
By the 1830s, the United States had developed a thriving industrial and commercial
sector in the Northeast.
Farmers embraced regional and distant markets as the primary destination for their
products. Artisans
witnessed the methodical division of the labor process in factories. Wage labor
became an increasingly
common experience. These industrial and market revolutions, combined with advances
in transportation,
transformed the economic and social landscape. Americans could now quickly produce
larger amounts of
goods for a nationwide, and sometimes an international, market and rely less on
foreign imports than in
colonial times.
As American economic life shifted rapidly and modes of production changed, new
class divisions emerged
and solidified, resulting in previously unknown economic and social inequalities.
This image of the Five
Points district in New York City captures the turbulence of the time (Figure 9.1).
Five Points began as a
settlement for freed slaves, but it soon became a crowded urban world of American
day laborers and low-
wage workers who lived a precarious existence that the economic benefits of the new
economy largely
bypassed. An influx of immigrant workers swelled and diversified an already crowded
urban population.
By the 1830s, the area had become a slum, home to widespread poverty, crime, and
disease. Advances in
industrialization and the market revolution came at a human price.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Industrial Revolution
Cotton Gin Steam Engine
Textiles Production Factories
Coal Mechanics
One Result: New dynamic in Workplace Relations.
3. Example: The Shoe Industry
The old way: Apprentice – Journeyman – Master Cobbler
Artisan Pride
One shop makes the entire shoe.
The Outwork System: 1820s and 1830s
Division of production into separate parts.
Journeymen as wage-laborers.
The Result: The “Shoe Boss”
4.
5. Other Examples
Factory = Power-driven machines turn out large quantities.
1782 – Oliver Evans builds water-powered flour mill.
Lifted Grain, cleaned it as it fell, ground into flour.
Then conveyed flour back to the top to allow it to cool.
Six men could mill 100,000 bushels a year.
By 1838, America has 2000 steam engines.
Glass Industry Sawmills
Machine Shops Iron-Rolling Mills
“Porkopolis”

8. Resulting Trends
More goods and Cheaper goods. Luxury items now cost less.
A modern Middle Class begins to grow, as more families can afford to
live like the Upper Class.
But also a growing wealth gap.
% of wealth concentrated in the top Ten Percent Income Bracket
1800: 40%
1860: 70%
Today? Still 70%
But,
Top 1% control 35% of the nation’s wealth.
36. The Transportation Revolution:
The country gets Smaller as it gets Larger.
Travel time from NYC to Charleston:
1800 = 2 weeks 1857 = 2 days.
Lowers the Price of Goods
And, also leads to spread of Information and People
37. The Market Revolution:
A product of the Transport
and the Industrial Revolutions
More goods, in a greater variety, at lower prices, results in
the growth of a self-conscious Middle Class.
America develops inter-regional domestic markets.
(States trade with other states and across the nation).
Combined with the ability to move food quickly over great distances,
this leads to REGIONAL SPECIALIZATION
