Music at the Turn of the Century While walking around the Stephenville Historical Museum there were two things in particular that caught my eye. They were both record players that dated back to the early 1900s, and one was even said to be from 1905.The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison, patented in 1878, and comes from the Greek word meaning sound and is literally translated to phone. Also, instead of vinyls like we know today, cylindrical tin foil was used to make the disk that would produce sound. When lines and grooves were cut or etched onto the disk, a needle would trace over the lines and the vibration from this process created sound. Soon after the invention caught on, the tin foil was replaced by cylindrical cardboard coated in wax, and eventually vinyl which of course is still used today.
Also, the more stable the free radical that is left behind, the weaker its C-H bond strength will be. The difference between the bromine and chlorine product ratios can be partially explained by the Hammond postulate, which states that species with similar energy levels also have more similar structures and react more quickly and less selectively. In the experiment, five different hydrocarbons were tested to measure the rate of reaction with the addition of bromine. Two trials were done, one with the test tubes containing the hydrocarbons and added bromine sitting directly under a lamp, and another with the test tubes in a closed, dark space. Both trials contained a

Quote: Thomas Jefferson-“ Hemp is the first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country.” PICTURE Transition: For generations upon generations, hemp has been a way of life; let’s start with the earliest known uses of hemp.

A single factory might hire thousands of workers. These jobs brought people to the cities. Third, the factory system allowed ordinary Americans to own all kinds of things. There were more goods to buy, and they became cheaper as methods of manufacturing continued to improve. For example, the first cars were so expensive that only rich people could afford to buy them but cars became cheaper when Ford invented the moving assembly line and the work went faster.
Was Government Technological Control Beneficial for American People? The government during the 19th Century was beginning to be involved in many on going projects. The steam engines were one of the first inventions that the Government regulated. Steam engines changed the relationships between the federal government, state governments, and private property owners for the future inventors. Governmental agencies became involved in the steamboats with Fulton and Livingston when their Monopoly took over waterways, restricting the travel up and down the Hudson Years after the Civil War saw major technological industrialization and advances like the railroad.

Industrial hemp has been in use around the world since the Stone Age. China and Taiwan have both been recorded to have used hemp to make clothes, shoes, rope, and paper as long as ten thousand years ago (Wikipedia). Germany and Italy were then introduced to hemp during the medieval period and first started using it for cooking (Wikipedia). Hemp eventually made its way to the United States during the Napoleonic Era where Thomas Jefferson later drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper. As hemp started becoming more and more popular, big industries started fearing the possibility of hemp cornering their markets.
The village was growing around the name was first called William's Mills it was named after the owner. After the War of 1812 that changed it to Williamsville. This mill had changed hand a lot of times. In the 19th Century the owners often had grist or floor mill, of line work or cement factory, and have a saw mill. The Mill has an historical importance as it was one of the earliest manufacturers of the natural cement in all of the United States.
Many resources that America has now were discovered/made useful during the industrial revolution. Long before Americas set foot on what is now present day America; Native Americans used crude oil for medicine and fuel. In the 1840’s Americans started to make kerosene out of these crude oils to light lamps. The man accredited with finding out how to make crude oil and
