Kevin Hall February 20, 2014 History 109 TTH 9:35am-11:10am Consumerism in Colonial America During the pre-revolutionary war era, our country was going through a drastic period of development that would lay down the spiritual and business foundations of our country. Immigrants were seeking religious freedom from parliament in Britain. Ports all along the eastern seaboard had an abundance of merchants and shopkeepers who sought to stimulate and to satisfy consumer demand for imported goods. In T.H. Breen’s essay “World of Goods in the Northern Colonies,” he states “that colonial Americans were increasingly concerned with becoming part of an empire of goods in the eighteenth century.” Colonial consumerism changed immigrant’s image of the colonies from a spiritual journey to an economically prosperous journey.
The Columbian Exchange impacted the social and cultural makeup of both sides of the Atlantic. Advancements in agriculture production, evolution of warfare, increased mortality rates and education are just a few examples of the effect of the Columbian Exchange on both Europeans and Native Americans. The Columbian Exchange influenced technological advances in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Native Americans were impacted more by the technological transition. The most notable of these changes were a written alphabet, new farming capabilities, new firearm and weapon capabilities and architectural ingenuity.
Rohan Vinaik January 21st, 2011 AP European History Manchester DBQ During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain, many changes, both social and economic, occurred. A direct result of these changes was the rapid urbanization of the British countryside, causing intense population growth in previously lightly populated areas. A clear, textbook example of this rapid urbanization is Manchester. From the years 1750 to 1851, the population of Manchester rose from 18,000 to over 300,000. As this rapid population shift continued to intensify throughout the early 19th century, social problems began to manifest themselves upon the working class of these ‘new’ cities.
In countries such as France, Latin America, the United States, and others, revolutions occurred and helped take control of political situations. In England, however, during the 1700’s, a different type of revolution took place. Triggered by the Agricultural revolution, this time period throughout the middle 1700’s is now known as the Industrial Revolution. This was a time where more techniques and inventions were created to increase efficiency in many areas of living. Size and number of farming land increased tremendously.
With the discovery of the New World in 1492, a new era opened in European history. It was characterized by what was called the Columbian Exchange. This exchange of plants, animals, diseases, and other products between the Europeans and the inhabitants of the New World led to changes in the European economy and altered trends in population. As a whole, European countries benefitted from the exchange, gaining healthier foods, new natural resources, and wealth, although some repercussions were also evident. The New World was home to a vast variety of new crops that were exported back to Europe for use in the Old World.
European Imperialism in Africa and Asia European nations followed to establish trade contacts in Africa and Asia. Their influence in the non-Western world increased gradually in the next three centuries. Beginning in 1870, European nations moved rapidly to extend their control over almost all of Africa and in most of Asia. The industrialized nations competed with each other for natural resources and raw materials such as copper, rubber, petroleum, and cotton after the Industrial Revolution spread within Europe. The industrial middle class, who had gained greater influence in the governments in Europe, encouraged imperialist ventures to seize control in Africa and Asia.
New industries developed rapidly as a result of a number of new inventions and the way in which things were produced, and the way in which people lived and worked, changed rapidly as a result of these developments. The Industrial Revolution was when the world finally began to move into the future, due to it, we have the world we live in today. If the industrial Revolution never took place, we would still be stuck in our old fashion ways. Factories would not exist, and our primary source of transportation would still be a horse and buggy. The Industrial Revolution, which continues today, changed the world as we know it.
