The Industrial Revolution Continued America Transformed Part 3

John Deere  He was a blacksmith.  During his life most plows used for tilling were made for the light, sandy soil of New England.  He invented a lightweight plow that had a steel cutting edge.  Deere’s plows were able to break through the rich, heavy mid-western soil.  This allowed the Great Plains to be opened up for farming.

Cyrus McCormick  He invented a reaper which was used to cut ripe grain.  This was valuable because it made it much easier to harvest grain, a crop that is used daily by most people.  Later, threshing machines were used to separate wheat from the husks.  This allowed farms to become larger and more productive, because harvesting was easier.  afety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=act ive afety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=act ive

Henry Ford  He invented the assembly line approach to manufacturing.  He was in the automobile industry.  Instead of having one person assemble something on their own, that one person just assembled part of the car as it moved down a conveyor.  Cars would take weeks or months to assemble before Ford’s idea.  With Ford’s assembly working full force, cars could be completed in a matter of minutes.

J.P. Morgan  He was a financier and a banker.  He was arguably the most powerful man in the United States for a decade or so.  Because he financed so many businesses, he forced businesses to follow his ideas, which made them more efficient.  He was criticized for having a monopoly over the finance industry, and controlling the American economy.

Joseph Pulitzer  He started a newspaper called the New York World.  He had to produce revenue to pay for the printing of the newspaper, so advertising to the masses was introduced by him.  He was also a member of the House of Representatives, and a leading member of the Democratic Party.  The Pulitzer Prize is named after him.

William Randolph Hearst  He was in competition with Pulitzer’s paper.  His newspaper was called the New York Journal.  This competition created something called yellow journalism.  He started publishing magazines that had a huge influence on the country as well.  He was also a member of the House of Representatives.

Jane Addams  As more and more people moved into the cities, there was a huge problem with poverty, slums, and child labor.  She established a settlement house which provided daycare, education, and health care to the poor who lived in Chicago.  Her house was called Hull House and became a model for other settlement houses.

Booker T. Washington  He was an early leader in trying to gain equality for African-Americans.  He became a teacher after the Civil War, and founded the Tuskegee institute in Alabama.  At the Tuskegee Institute he tried to help African-Americans learn trades and gain economic strength.  He did not challenge segregation, but believed that blacks and whites could be separate but equal.

W.E.B. Du Bois  He encouraged African-Americans to end segregation.  He founded the N.A.A.C.P. which played a key role in ending segregation many years later.  He wanted to train the “talented tenth” to be scholars.  He believed that African-Americans, not whites, had to lead the fight to end segregation.

Ellis Island  This is an island in the harbor of New York City.  This was the first stop for many immigrants on their way into the U.S. from Europe.  This served as a processing station for immigrants into the U.S.  Immigrants were checked for good health, and asked about their background.  Millions and millions passed through here.

Angel Island  Was on the west coast of the United States in San Francisco Bay.  This was where many Asian- Americans first entered the United States.  They were often held there for weeks because of racism towards them.  There were not as many who came through here when compared to Ellis Island.

Jim Crow Laws  These laws were meant to enforce segregation.  Segregation was the separation of black and white people in public areas.  Separate schools, trolley seats, and restrooms were common in the south.  The court case Plessy v. Ferguson said “separate but equal” was fair, and did not violate the 14 th amendment.

The Chinese Exclusion Act  The Chinese were not well- received when they came in for the Gold Rush and the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.  When the economy went bad in the 1870’s there was resentment towards the Chinese because it was thought that they were driving wages down.  When this act was passed, no Chinese immigration was allowed for ten years.

Ragtime  This was a new type of music that emerged in the late 1800’s.  It was a blend of European & African-American music.  This genre of music eventually became popular across many cultures in the U.S.  Scott Joplin’s tune “Maple Leaf Rag” became the most popular song of the era. Scott Joplin-a famous Ragtime composer

Vaudeville  These were shows that were a mixture of song, dance, and comedy.  These shows would feature a mixture of acts, leading up to what was called an “exciting finish”.  This type of entertainment was less formal than a play, and it appealed to many people.
