The U.S. becomes an Industrial Giant

Industrial Revolution The First Industrial Revolution reached the United States in the early 1800s. Industry is the name given to business involved in manufacturing; transportation; and communications. Second Industrial Revolution was characterized by an increase in technology. Ex: Hand tools are replaced by factory machines, and farming is replaced by large-scale manufacturing.

The major issues that emerged during both IR as a result of the mechanization of production and the growth of industrial cities were bad outcomes for the laboring working class because they lost a sense of life, had health problems, and had little to live off of. They were treated unfairly by the businesses and government

Factors Encouraging Industrial Growth in the Late 19th Century 1. Natural Resources The United States had enough iron ore and coal to provide raw materials for manufacturing. New Resource: Petroleum turned into Kerosene Discovery of oil. An abundance of raw materials materials was one reason for the nation’s industrial success. Timber Coal Iron Copper American companies could obtain resources cheaply and did not have to import from other countries.

Factors Encouraging Industrial Growth in the Late 19th Century 2. Population Growth 3. Technology It stemmed from two sources: large families and a flood of immigrants. Growth provided industry with an abundant workforce and created greater demand for consumer goods. Technologies and inventions eased transportation and communication. They encouraged new industries which in turn produced more wealth and jobs.

New Technologies help nation grow With new farm equipment, Midwestern farmers grew food to feed Northeastern factory workers. Midwestern farmers became a market for Northeastern manufactured goods. The growth of the textile factories increased the demand for Southern cotton.

Factors Encouraging Industrial Growth in the Late 19th Century 4. Role of Government Laissez-faire a policy that government should interfere as little as possible in the free market. A economic system with little or no government regulation is known as a free enterprise system.

Factors Encouraging Industrial Growth in the Late 19th Century The policy encouraged industrialization in many ways: When an inventor created a new invention he registered it with the American government so no one else could create the same machine. This was called a patent, exclusive right to make or sell an invention. Patents encouraged new inventions Tariffs protected American Manufactured good Laws protected property and contracts Land grants encouraged railroad construction Government regulated currency & banks

Influence for the SIR First Industrial Revolution Civil War Great Britain introduced the use of steam power & mass production of goods in factories. U.S. first nation to follow Great Britain Railroad and steamboats led an expansion of raw cotton for export to British factories. Northern manufacturing doubled in the decade of the Civil War with the production of uniform, food, guns and other goods. Civil War Legislation encouraging economic growth such as the Homestead Act, Morrill Act, Pacific Railway Act made the expansion possible

Social Causes of the SIR Change from domestic (farming) to factory (industrial) system of production Farmers were leaving their agriculture (farm) way of life to the cities Many Europeans immigrated to the United States because of the American industries had plenty of jobs available

Inventors and Inventions The Patent Office had never seen a year like 1897. Averages of nearly 60 patents, or licenses for new inventions, were being generated every day. The United States had become the land of invention. These inventions made life easier in American homes. There were inventions and improvements in every area.

Speeding up Communication Better communication was important to American businesses. The telegraph helped quicken communication. Samuel Morse invented the telegraph(like texting today) Morse's invention speeded up communication in the United States. It took weeks to get a message to Europe to arrive by boat. In 1858, Cyrus Field completed the layout for an underwater telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn't until 1866, that the cable was completed and the first message was sent to Europe.

Alexander Graham Bell:The Telephone One of the most dramatic invention was in the field of communication. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell, a teacher of the deaf, invented the first telephone. It revolutionized communication by increasing the scale and speed of nationwide communications. Bell started the company called the Bell Telephone Company and made millions with his invention of the telephone. People no longer had to go to a telegraph office to send a message. Now they can talk on a telephone in their own home.

Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, the phonograph, the movie projector, and batteries.

One of Edison's most important inventions was the creation of and electric power plant in 1882. Within a year Edison's invention was supplying electric power to homes and more power plants were built. Steam powered engines were soon replaced with safer electric motors. It provided electricity for everyone.

African American Inventors Many African Americans contributed to the flood of inventions. Elijah McCoy created a special device that oiled engines automatically in 1872. This device was widely used on railroad engines.

Granville T. Woods found a way to send telegraph messages between moving trains.

It was more readily available and affordable to In the late 1850's William Kelly and Henry Bessemer discovered a new way to make steel. It was called the Bessemer Process. The Bessemer Process was a faster and cheaper way to make steel by blasting hot air through iron It was more readily available and affordable to railroad companies, more railroads were built throughout the U.S. As a result railroads laid lines of steel that would not rust easily and would last a long time. This caused the West to expand, cities to grow, and communication and transportation was forever changed for the better.

Pittsburgh became the steel capital of the country. With this development of the Bessemer process, steel mills sprang up all over the country. Pittsburgh became the steel capital of the country. The steel mills brought jobs and prosperity to Pittsburgh. It also brought thick black smoke that covered the land called soot. The steel production made the rivers turn yellow from the pollution. I am hot in here!

Impact of the Railroads Railroads spurred industrial growth by giving manufacturers a cheap way to transport material and finished products. Railroad boom created hundreds of thousands of new jobs for both railroad workers and miners. By making travel easier, railroads encouraged people to take distant city jobs. Railroad encouraged growth; made westward expansion possible and helped develop the country New towns developed along railroad lines

Henry Flagler Flagler was fascinated with Florida. He devoted his time to developing the Sunshine State. He built the Ponce de Leon Hotel (now Flagler College) a luxury hotel in St. Augustine. Later built luxury resorts in Palm Beach & Miami, forming the basis for Tourism in Florida

Flagler greatest impact was the railroad building in Florida Flagler greatest impact was the railroad building in Florida. He was able to buy and build railroads connecting the entire length of Florida from Jacksonville to Miami and eventually all the way to Key West. He formed the Florida East Coast Railroad.

Florida East Coast Railroad The railroad brought tourists to fill his hotels, made it possible for Floridians to export their agricultural products and supplies, and settlers in Florida. Even helped Floridians ship exports to the Caribbean and beyond. Unfortunately, his railroad to Key West was destroyed by hurricane in 1935.

Flagler’s contribution to the growth of Miami were so important that he was given the title as the “Father of Miami”
