Before the 19th century America had minimum machine operated to manufactures products, so the resulted in the merchandise was made by hand. New Nationalist era change America because fresh idea of technologies in agriculture, transportation, and communication were beginning to be development. In America's New Nationalist periods there were multiple contemporary technology innovations in agriculture, transportation, and communication, which positively and negatively impacted Americans society. There were assorted novelty in the world of agriculture, transportation, and communication to advance the world. The new enhancement of the world was design to make production faster and more efficient. Some of the multitude innovations concluded the
In the late 1700s the invention of new machines launched the first wave of industrial revolution. New technology
Technology greatly transformed American agriculture from just plain farming to commercial farming. The mechanization of farming made farming easier and more profitable. As shown in Document D technology was helping farmers, making farming more easier and they were able to do many jobs quicker. But, Farmers couldn’t afford to send crops to other places At the beginning of the 1840s the railroad began to transform American agriculture, by the 1860’s all states east of the Mississippi had rail service. As shown in Document B there were multiple railroads all around the country. The farmers were ecstatic about this new technology because they could send their crops to other areas, when before they didn’t have the money to be able to do so. Other new technologies were arriving such as the mechanical reaper and the steel plow.
The article "Why in America" by Nathan Rosenberg, we learn how manufacturing was important impact on America during the nineteenth century. America was primarily borrowed the European technology and the rate of technical change increased. There were three major reasons why american manufacturing has increased rapidly. The three reasons of rapid increase of American industries were the increase of population growth, larger amount of natural resources, and specialized machines.
The innovations in technology which included: the telegraph, interchangeable parts, and the steel plow; made the economy superior in communication.
Industrialization changed the lives of the people of this nation. By the late nineteenth century, with advances in technology, communication, and transportation, a new type of industrialization was formed, a global one.
* The Great RR Strike of 1877 shut down railroads from WV to CA & resulted in hundreds of deaths
Communication, transportation, and the trading of new goods changed the culture of the United States. Machinery for mass production, like the Spinning Jenny, the Iron mining industry and coal mining industries created a culture of constant communication, trading and commerce between U.S citizens. Textile Factories and other innovations in this time created various jobs for Americans and created tradeable crops for American to exchange with other countries. (Lec 12) With this, throughout the 1800s, the population of the United States grew to 31.4 million by 1860. (Lec 12). This shows the improvement of economic relationships within the United States.
The 19th century saw a dramatic shift from cultivating your own crops to purchasing foods from across the country. Large factories made it possible to package large amounts of food in a short period of time. Use of chemically-induced fertilizer stretched the survivability and yield of many crops, decreasing starvation in the U.S. The expansion of transportation allowed food to be shipped from the country side to major cities to feed a large population and many in-house appliances, such as the refrigerator, stored the food. The Industrial Revolution was a time of positive advancements that allowed many Americans to move to cities and work factory jobs while helping shape the way Americans get food and the introduction of processed foods into the American
The technological progress had made changes in several areas starting to produce new type of machinery, meantime developing new methods of producing textile, source of energy, even to transmit messages on a long distances.
During the late 1700’s, the United States was no longer a possession of Britain, instead it was a market for industrial goods and the world’s major source for tobacco, cotton, and other agricultural products. A labor revolution started to occur in the United States throughout the early 1800’s. There was a shift from an agricultural economy to an industrial market system. After the War of 1812, the domestic marketplace changed due to the strong pressure of social and economic forces. Major innovations in transportation allowed the movement of information, people, and merchandise. Textile mills and factories became an important base for jobs, especially for women. There was also widespread economic growth during this time period
Technology, when introduced to countries, was either easily adapted or was not accepted initially. Americans took to technology quickly and adapted to it as quick as they could. In the beginning they did not see anything but benefits from it. They now had the ability to create their own products instead of getting expensive foreign luxuries. But with everything new there are always some critiques about the new technology. Some critiques came with the fact that the factories were affecting nature. Also, the fact that people were not becoming part of these machines and not getting the same satisfaction as they use too. This is what was being debated by the 1870’s, the fact that there was no more reward for the work that you put in.
Innovations grounded in industrialization paved the way for shifting lifestyle for Europeans and Americans. Between 1700 and 1830, much of America and Europe experienced a rise in innovation, propelling product design. Previously, manufacturers utilized basic tools and machinery. As a result, mass production, improved transportation and communication surfaced. There was an increased volume and variety of products. Because of the varietal increase among products, designed objects helped distinguish social hierarchy both nationally and individually. Nationally, in the sense that the object was owned by most people perhaps among the middle class. Individually, in the sense that most members of the upper class wanted objects specifically
In the late 1700’s and early 1800’s the United States was in a transformation from the Jeffersonian vision of an agricultural nation, into Alexander Hamilton’s vision of an industrial America. The book Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper gives a good idea of what America was like during the Early Republic period. The industrial life would turn America into a country that is dependent on the work of manufactories.
The nineteenth century witnessed the rise of the modern industry. As the nineteenth century was a time of great change and upheaval, it was also a period of great opportunity. These advances in science and technology generated much of this change and had widespread effects on society. This emerging modern world was driven by an endless stream of new products made by factories employing radically new technologies, skills, and organizations.
Since the beginning of commerce, scientific and technical progress have constituted a real revolution, by transforming radically the everyday-life, with a particular impact on the agricultural and industrial techniques of production.
