European nation-states had become very powerful because of industrialization and because of the organizational efficiency of the nation-state.

CHAPTER 28 The New Power Balance, 1850–1900 CHAPTER OUTLINE I. New Technologies and the World Economy A. Railroads 1. By 1850 the first railroads had proved so successful that every industrializing country began to build railroad lines.

The late nineteenth century in the United States saw the peak of buzz and commotion that is commonly referred to as the Industrial Revolution. Caught deep within the gears of this mechanized movement, both socially and financially, was one Samuel Langhorne Clemens, best known as Mark Twain. Twain's ideas on industrialization were based on practical experience, due in part to heavy investment in, and loss from, a newly developed type-setting machine as well as an acute interest in the universal ramifications of such modernization (Kaplan 12). It is among such an economically turbulent and technologically elevated era that Twain conceived, wrote, and published the critically complex A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court. Twain's vision of sixth century England is seen through the eyes of "Yankee" Hank Morgan.
The early days of the Industrial revolution from 1800 to 1837 are a big change for America. It is principally a transformation in the economy due to the creations of new industries. Indeed, America shifts from an agrarian handcraft economy to a modern and technological one. However, even though the industrial changes brought economic advantages, it also brought stratification among Americans. In one side there is the working class fighting for his rights, and on the other side middle and upper class seeking their profits.
An straightforward example of advanced technology in the late nineteenth century was the invention of indoor lighting by Thomas Edison. He used electricity to transmit light, sound, and images to develop an incandescent bulb in which an electric current passed through. The application of electricity by Thomas Edison proves how skillful the industrial era was in America. The light bulb was clearly a huge step forward for the lives of the people living in the country. Henry Ford was another skillful man during this era because he declared that his goal was to make it possible for everyone to afford an
