This quickly sparked a virtual mania for building railroads in Europe and the United States after 1830. The 1800s saw incredible growth in the miles of track being laid. In 1830,
Slavery and population had a big affect on the next 100 years of the United States history. The US also changed diversely with new innovations like roads, waterways, railroads, steamboats, and refrigerated railroad cars. A few new innovations that changed or improved from 1776 to 1870 are the roadways, waterways, railroads, steamboats, and refrigerated railroad cars. Roadways were an innovation that created a way for easier, and faster transportation. Waterways were also a way for transportation, to cut out a lot of land, and cut out time.
Many Americans believe that God give them the power and duty to expand territory, strengthen the United States. The motivation of United States launched this war is a debatable subject. The origin and influence The term Manifest Destiny was popular in the 19th century, some Americans believed they had the destiny to expand American continent Territory, from the Atlantic coast to Pacific Ocean. The ideal of territory expansion is already had before the American Independence, but in 1845, The United States Magazine and Democratic Review editor John O'Sullivan published an essay “Annexation”. “…our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions”[2] This essay reveal John O'Sullivan claim United States had a destiny expansion .
Introduction The rise of industry in the United States in the 19th century, well before the actual Industrial Revolution, was primarily a matter of geography accommodating emerging need. States were defined by set boundaries that caused much debate because, before railroads were plentiful, nothing was more necessary for commercial growth than water transportation such as canals and steamboats, and Eastern states competed for borders giving them the greatest access to rivers. At the same time, new technologies enabled efficient ways for mining, and those regions rich in ore were likely to become important centers of industry. Lastly, there was the matter of catering to the imposing new cities of the East, particularly New York and Chicago. The country was growing quickly, but that growth was primarily based on what advantages were most available in each location.
Renea Layne HIS 204 American History Since 1865 Technologies & American History Instructor Jason Weinerman December 12, 2011 We begin our journey back in 1866 when America was looking for a better way to be able to connect to the nation outside the world (Bowles, 2011). From 1866 to the present, there have been enormous ways that the technological world has advanced and brought America out of the physical and intellectual ways of isolation. In 1866, a transatlantic cable connected the United States with Europe, which brought almost instant telegraphic messages to each other. These messages were used for businesses and personal reasoning as well as other ways of communicating to each other. This was the first step in the world
Samuel Morse invented many machines. There were two important ones that I want to share with you; they are the Telegraph machine and the Morse code. Samuel also created many paintings for many popular people. The Industrial Revolution enabled Samuel Morse to be a great inventor because there was a change in demographics in the U.S.A., advances in technology allowing for new inventions, and the development of a modern military. In 1825, Morse was commissioned by the city of New York to paint a portrait of the Marquis De Lafayette in Washington for $1000.
What was the key invention that helped America chug ahead in the industrial race around the world? The railway system ignited many other inventions in the last third of the nineteenth century, and helped America grow into the strong industrial nation it is today. The railway system helped “the movement of settlers further and further west accompanied by technological advances led to the major growth of cities and industries across the American frontier,” (Transportation and the Expansion of America). Railroads improved how we communicated as a nation, and helped us transform our economy for a regional agrarian economy to a national industrial economic superpower. The communication in America increased immensely due to the growth of the railways.
All of these issues helped to shape the American nation and its people. After the Civil War, the development of improved industrial methods and the arrival of masses of immigrants eager for factory jobs launched a new era of mass production in the United States. The nation turned its efforts toward economic recovery and expansion. America's abundant supply of natural resources, such as coal and oil, encouraged investment. Much of this investment came from already industrialized countries like Germany, Great Britain, and France whose business owners looked for new investment opportunities in the United States.
TASK 4: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AS ENGINES OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Kelly Carver Western Governor's University TASK 4: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AS ENGINES OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT PART A The Industrial Revolution had a significant social impact on Western society in a couple of ways. The Industrial Revolution began in England in the 1790’s and spread through out Europe and then to America. Although the positive effects of the Industrial Revolution were plentiful, two negative effects were substantial. One social consequence being child labor and the other being undesirable living conditions. The Industrial Revolution caused urbanization to develop abruptly.
Why did Europeans Emigrate to America in such numbers? Europeans emigrated to America for many reasons, these however were not the same reasons but may have been similar in nature. I will be looking at the period of 1776 – 1914 this time period is after America had received its independence and before World War 1 which did effect emigration to America. In this essay I will mention the main European nations that provided emigration to America in this period and the push and pull factors that encouraged or forced these migrants to leave their homelands for a new life in America. English emigrated to America due to high population, high unemployment and the promise of a better life which America was offering.
