DARING to MOVE to NEW PLACES! After end of the Civil War, there were many technological advances. These advances allowed people to live in more challenging environments.

THE GREAT PLAINS The Great Plains was an area in the United States that many people did not settle in before the Civil War, because they thought it would be too difficult.

REASONS FOR DIFFICULTY Settling the Great Plains was hard, because of its physical features and climate: • Flatlands that rise gradually from east to west • Land eroded by wind and water • Low rainfall • Frequent dust storms

INVENTIONS & ADAPTATIONS Many new advancements were created after the end of the Civil War, such as: • Barbed wire • Steel plows • Dry farming • Sod houses • Wheat farming • Windmills • Railroads

MORE INVENTIONS & ADAPTATIONS

A NEW PERSPECTIVE Those new inventions and adaptations helped people to stop looking at the Great Plains as a “treeless wasteland,” and see it as a great place to settle.

CONNECTIONS Also, advancements in transportation (transcontinental railroad) helped to link resources, products, and markets all across America.

NEW RESOURCES Transportation changed life after 1865 by: • Moving natural resources (e.g., copper, lead) to eastern factories • Moving iron ore deposits to sites of steel mills (e.g., Pittsburgh) • Transporting finished products to national markets

NEW CITIES Manufacturing areas began to appear, and were often clustered near centers of population. For example: • Meatpacking industry: Chicago • Automobile industry: Detroit • Textile industry: New England • Steel industry: Pittsburgh
