When he was younger he planned on creating something for the rich as well for common man that would involve engines. He created the Ford Model T, which was affordable for the poor, and continued to create Model A and other modeled cars (Joans 2010). By the end of World War I half of Americans owned the model T car. The affordable cars like those Ford produced transformed America (Roak et al., 2011). Ford created the automobile industry, which employed thousands of workers and inspired new industries as well (Heritage, 2010).The new industries included but were not limited to: gas stations, mechanics, fast food restaurants drive-ins (pig stands) and motels (A&E, 2006).
Henry Ford Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if there wasn't cars to take us to and from work or to the many places that we need to be during a day? Without the car, society might still be using horse and buggies for transportation, but one man made an incredible invention that changed the way americans traveled around thier city and countryside. That man was Henry Ford. Ford contributed multiple things to the automobile industry back in the early 1900's. His greatest contribution by far was the Model T car.
In the 20th century, the automobile was a welcome change to American life, as it granted workers and families a new mobility and thus a new sense of freedom and urgency, and we became a nation excessively dependent on our cars. More than anything else, the car was the symbol of American post-war prosperity. However, that prosperity has cost us, in various ways, the American dream. Whereas we once thought of cars as the epitome of personal freedom, more and more we are becoming limited by the expense of that freedom. The American Public Transportation Association estimates that it costs a resident of the Boston area, for example, $13,000 a year to own a car.
Henry Ford was very famous for promoting this wonderful commodity that represented a new kind of freedom. It was a symbol of the American Dream, and everyone was striving to have the new product. “The automobile was the backbone of economic growth.” The first real automobile appeared in Middletown in 1900; however, it wasn’t until Henry Ford came around and created a mass production of automobiles that the machine that would provide easy travel would become popular. Although the automobile created such a wonderful freedom, many adults thought that it was tearing families apart. Teenagers were spending more time with their friends driving around instead of staying at home with their family.
This group of consumer not only bought the cars, but also exploited more utilities of the car unexpectedly. Thus the Prius benefited from the first group of consumer and gained the reputation. Then Toyota made countless improvements in the second-generation Prius including better looking, more fuel efficiency, more room and luxury equipments. Apparently, the second-generation Prius successfully made all types of consumers to be interested like people who pay attention to the environmental protection. Therefore the Prius had been consolidating its status as the dominant green car in the world, even the other green car with the different brand nameplates as BMW could not exceed it.
The automobile has had an important influence on the United States since the early 20th century. Perhaps no other invention has had such a important impact on production. Methods, the American landscape, the environment and American values. The automobile’s effect on America’s economy was huge The automobile did have social impacts on people. Before the automobile was invented factory workers were forced to live close to the factory or a railroad that led to the factory so that they could get to work on time.
It was a short iron tube with a tiny hole at the end for the fuse. These were used more like small canons because they were difficult to carry and fire at the same time. They were used more for intimidation because they took too long to reload and were too inaccurate to be very effective. Gunpowder had to be mixed on site because it was very dangerous to travel with, so gun crews had to try to mix the correct amount of each ingredient during battle. These made accuracy impossible because the explosive force of the powder varied every time.
The radios and automotive industry were widely popular because of the use and need for them during World War I. This led to the radio and automobile and the material needed to build them produced in large quantities through the use of mass production which became very popular and modern way to build all products. Mass production allowed Henry Ford’s automobiles to become highly
A City so Grand Between the years of 1850-1890, the city of Boston transformed itself into a model of reform for the rest of the country. Boston became recognized as one of the most prominent and influential cities in the aspects of politics, medicine, science, and commerce. The city also managed to achieve creating an advanced transportation system, taking large steps forward in social activism, and improved education system. Stephen Puleo’s “A City So Grand” perfectly depicts Boston’s transformation from an insulated town into the thriving metropolis it is today.

It took History a long time to figure out that something must have happened between the Dark Ages and the Reformation. So historians came up with the word Renaissance. In the mid 1850s, well a long time after it started, history would find the word Renaissance that explained what happened. A long time after the Renaissance in Italy historians finally found out that it was this Renaissance that gave us the Reformation. This letting loose of artistic creativity that for the first time in history the average person controlled with his money and
