Immigrant Labor Due to immigration, there was a larger availability of people ready to join the work force.

Lowered production costs Assembly line: Products made faster, cheaper, and more accessible to average consumer.

Faster transportation New markets were created. Trains reached small towns in addition to cities.

Easy access to materials and energy Trains shipped raw materials and finished products. Electricity ran machines more efficiently.

Inventions “Mechanization” Example: The Mechanical Reaper- reduced farm labor needs and increased production.

Advertising More consumers = more profits. Creation of mail order catalogs and chain stores.

Sears, Roebuck Barn Mail Order Barn Chicago monolith Sears, Roebuck & Company was truly the farm family's friend, offering everything from girdles to guitars, baby chicks to barns through its voluminous mail-order catalog-which itself then served double-duty in the outhouse. These Sears barn kits included do-it yourself plans, doors, glass windows, and pre-cut fir, hemlock, and cypress boards that were numbered to aid easy assembly. As this ad proclaimed, "Just as the sickle has been replaced successively by the cradle, the self rake and the binder, so the old time, wasteful, not ready cut system of construction is being replaced by our modern and economical 'Honor Bilt' Already Cut buildings."

New ways to borrow money led to creation of new businesses. Financial resources New ways to borrow money led to creation of new businesses. END.

I will be able to identify 3 major industries and their captains of industry during the “Gilded Age” using a memory tool I will create. I will be able to elaborate on the reasons why large industries became monopolies during the late 1800s. I will be able to create original sentences using my “Big Business” Vocabulary. I will be able evaluate a primary resource (political cartoon) in order to approximate the opinion Americans had about monopolies during the “Gilded Age.”

You’ve got… M.A.I.L. !!! “How did the rise of “big business” influence life on farms & in cities following the Civil War?” M A IL Mechanization reduced farm labor needs and increased production. (ex: reaper) Access to consumer goods is provided by industrialization. (ex: mail order) Increased Labor is needed as industries develop in many cities.

Factors of Production Start on page 568 The period from the end of the Civil War and 1900 was an era of unmatched economic growth in the United States.

New methods of technology and business allowed the country to tap its rich supply of natural resources, increase its production, and raise the money needed for growth.

The growing transportation system made it easier for merchants to reach distant markets.

Among these resources are what economist call the factors of production: Land, Labor, Capital

Land: not just the land itself but all the natural resources

Labor: Large number of workers was needed to turn raw materials into goods. This was met by the rapid growth of population. Between 1860 and 1900; the population of the country more than doubled.

Capital: the equipment, buildings, machinery, and tools used in production. The term capital is also used to mean money for investment. Huge amounts of money were needed to finance industrial growth.

The Oil Business Page 569 The oil industry grew rapidly in the late 1800s. John D. Rockefeller made his fortune from oil. When Rockefeller was 26 years old, he and four partners set up an oil refinery (to process oil) in Cleveland, Ohio.

In 1870, Rockefeller organized the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and set out to dominate the oil industry. He acquired most of the oil refineries in Cleveland and other cities.

The Standard Oil Trust To strengthen Standard Oil’s position in the oil industry, Rockefeller lowered his prices to drive competition out of business. In addition he pressured customers not to deal with rival oil companies, and he persuaded the railroads to grant him rebates in exchange for his business.

The Steel Industry Page 570 Steel also became a huge business in the late 1800s. Steel is a strong and long-lasting form of iron-treated with carbon- the ideal material for railroad tracks, bridges, and many other products. Before 1860s steel was not widely used because it was expensive to manufacture. The development of new manufacturing techniques helped overcome this problem.

The Bessemer process, developed by Henry Bessemer changed the industry The Bessemer process, developed by Henry Bessemer changed the industry. With new methods, mills could produce steel at affordable prices and in large quantities.

In the 1870s, large steel mills emerged close to the sources of iron ore in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania became the steel capital of the United Sates. The leading figure in the early years of the American steel industry was Andrew Carnegie, son of a Scottish immigrant.

Railroad Barons Go back to page 557 New Yorker, Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of the first Railroad barons, gained control of the New York Central Line and then made a fortune by consolidating several companies. His railroad empire stretched from New York City to the Great Lakes.

Railroad barons were aggressive and competitive Railroad barons were aggressive and competitive. They lived in an age when few laws had been passed to regulate business and some of their methods were highly questionable.

Nevertheless, the railroad barons played an important part in building the nation’s transportation system.

Philanthropists Back to page 570 Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, and other industrial millionaires of the time grew interested in philanthropy- the use of money to benefit the community.

The philanthropists founded schools, universities, and other civic institutions across the United States.

Carnegie donated $350 million to various organizations Carnegie donated $350 million to various organizations. He built Carnegie Hall in New York City; the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching; and more than 2,000 libraries worldwide.

Rockefeller used his fortune to establish the University of Chicago in 1890 and New York’s Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
