Made in Hamilton 1867 Walking Tour
Step back in time and explore Hamilton's industrial history in the city's downtown core during Canada's Confederation.
18.1 Miners, Ranchers and Railroads
As more people moved west, mining, ranching, and railroads began transforming the West in the late 1800s. Mining booms like the 1859 Comstock Lode discovery in Nevada led to new towns springing up overnight. Cattle ranching also became popular, though it ended with the introduction of barbed wire fencing. Growing populations in the West increased the need for better communication and transportation, leading to the development of the Pony Express and telegraph systems. The Transcontinental Railroad was ultimately built between 1866-1869 to connect the eastern and western United States, spurring further economic growth.
5.2 the development of the american railroads
The development of the transcontinental railroad in the United States was driven by the concept of Manifest Destiny and the desire to connect the eastern and western parts of the country. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 granted funding and land subsidies to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads to build the line. These companies engaged in a race to complete as much track as possible, employing various workers including ex-soldiers, immigrants, and using new technologies like dynamite. The Last Spike was driven in 1869 in Promontory, Utah connecting the continental United States by rail for the first time. The railroad transformed the country by facilitating transportation and settlement of the West.

Nc goal #5 the new american society and the economy
During the Gilded Age, several key factors enabled industrialization in the United States, including abundant natural resources, a large and growing workforce fed by immigration, and major technological innovations in areas like transportation, communication, and manufacturing. Prominent industrialists and entrepreneurs in industries like railroads, oil, steel, and telecommunications helped drive economic growth through consolidation and vertical integration of their businesses. These business leaders were both admired as captains of industry and criticized as ruthless "robber barons" who exploited workers.
Rise of big business 1860 1900
From 1860-1900, the United States became an economic superpower due to its vast natural resources, booming population from immigration, a pro-business government, and American ingenuity. Innovations like the Bessemer process and widespread use of steel facilitated the construction of skyscrapers and bridges. Industrialists like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and others consolidated their industries vertically and horizontally, forming trusts and monopolies to maximize profits despite facing criticism for harsh treatment of workers. This period of rapid industrialization and economic growth also saw the rise of big cities, labor issues, and concerns over the power of large corporations.

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the late 18th century due to several key factors: abundant natural resources like coal and iron ore, a growing population and food supply that created a labor force, and entrepreneurs willing to invest in new technologies. The cotton industry was transformed by inventions like the spinning jenny and powered loom that increased production. This led to a shift from cottage industries to factory work, bringing difficult conditions for many workers. The Industrial Revolution then spread across Europe and to the United States in the 19th century, fundamentally changing economies and societies.

The Industrial Revolution began in the 1780s in Great Britain and took decades to spread. Great Britain was well-suited for the Industrial Revolution due to advantages like abundant natural resources like coal and iron ore, a ready supply of capital from merchants, and a large colonial empire that provided export markets. New technologies like the steam engine and cotton gin automated manufacturing processes and vastly increased production. The Industrial Revolution transformed Great Britain into the world's first industrialized nation and spread industrialization across Europe and North America in the 19th century.
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.

Lecture 6 b industrialism & marxism - 10.2014
The Industrial Revolution transformed European society from agrarian to urban and industrial. New technologies like steam power allowed for factories, mass production, and new transportation networks. This increased productivity but also inequality as the working class faced long hours, child labor, and unsafe conditions. Critics like Marx saw capitalism as exploiting workers. The Industrial Revolution also drove imperialism as countries sought new resources and markets.
Lesson plan 13 erie canal student
The document summarizes early transportation methods in New York and the United States, including the construction and impact of the Erie Canal. The Erie Canal was built from 1798 to 1819 to allow goods from western New York to be shipped east to New York City more easily. Its construction, led by Governor DeWitt Clinton, was initially mocked but proved very successful. It cut shipping costs and travel time drastically, boosted population growth in the west, and increased New York City's prominence. It also strengthened national unity. The invention of the steamboat by Robert Fulton in 1807 further improved shipping.
Draft your own reconstruction plan
This document provides instructions for a classroom activity where students will work in groups to draft Reconstruction plans addressing the demands of different viewpoints after the Civil War. Students will take on the roles of Radical Republicans, Moderate Republicans, Southern Democrats, or Freedmen. Within their delegations, they will identify demands and then work across delegations to draft an 8-point compromise plan that incorporates 2 demands from each viewpoint. They will present and vote on the plans.
Reconstruction presentation 2015
Reconstruction aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and guarantee rights for freed slaves, but faced opposition. Radical Republicans sought to punish the South and protect freedmen, while Southerners and Moderate Republicans wanted reconciliation. The Reconstruction Amendments granted citizenship and voting rights to freedmen, but Southern states undermined these with Black Codes and later Jim Crow laws. Reconstruction ended in 1877 through a compromise that withdrew federal troops from the South in exchange for certifying the presidential election, ending Republican rule and protections for freedmen.
Kids are free 2015 16
The students discussed what they would do if all children under 18 were suddenly freed from their parents and could only take the clothes on their back. Some said they would work for less pay at fast food jobs, while others proposed that the government should provide housing, jobs, or education assistance. There was debate around whether the government should help, as the children now had the choice to stay with parents by doing chores and paying rent.

Final westward expansion presentation 2015 2016
The unsettled land west of the Mississippi River contributed greatly to the growth of the United States after 1865 through territorial expansion enabled by new technologies and innovations. Railroads transported settlers and goods, promoting growth. Inventions like barbed wire and steel plows made farming the prairies viable. Adaptations such as dry farming, sod houses, cattle ranching, and windmills helped settlers survive on the Great Plains. However, unsustainable practices later led to ecological problems like the Dust Bowl.
Final reasons for westward expansion 2015
The document summarizes five key reasons for Westward Expansion in the United States during the late 19th century:
1. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided opportunities for settlers to claim ownership of 160 acres of free land if they made improvements, encouraging migration. Inventions like sod houses, windmills, steel plows, and barbed wire helped homesteaders fulfill requirements.
2. The passage of the Pacific Railway Act in 1862 launched construction of the transcontinental railroad, uniting the country by rail and facilitating travel and transport.
3. The possibility of striking gold or silver drew prospectors to mines in places like California, Colorado, and Nevada, establishing new settlements and wealth.
Jim crow
The document summarizes key events of the Jim Crow era in the United States after the end of Reconstruction in 1877. It discusses the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments during Reconstruction that abolished slavery and granted citizenship and voting rights to former slaves. After Reconstruction ended, African Americans in the South faced racial segregation and discrimination under Jim Crow laws. They were largely sharecroppers or subject to the convict lease system, which allowed indefinite jailing for minor offenses. The era saw responses from Booker T. Washington, who advocated for vocational education and gradual equality, and W.E.B. DuBois, who believed in full civil, political, and social rights through the leadership

Dr. Seuss created political cartoons from 1941-1945 during World War II that dealt with America's reluctance to enter the war and confront Hitler early on. The cartoons addressed issues like isolationism, appeasement of Hitler, and the America First movement. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the US declared war on Japan and Germany and fully joined the Allied forces in Europe and the Pacific. Dr. Seuss's cartoons then focused on promoting unity at home, urging support for the war effort through bond/stamp purchases and conservation/rationing of key resources.
