SECTION 1: A New Industrial Age Natural resources and new ideas create a boom for industry and railroads. Government addresses corruption in business, and laborers organize for better working conditions.

THE EXPANSION OF INDUSTRY At the end of the 19th century, natural resources, creative ideas, and growing markets fuel an industrial boom. After the Civil War (1865) the U.S. was still largely agriculture By 1920, the U.S. was the leading industrial power in the world This enormous growth was due to three factors; 1) Natural Resources 2) Governmental support 3) Urbanization

Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization The Growth of Industry • By 1920s, U.S. is world’s leading industrial power, due to: - wealth of natural resources - government support for business - growing urban population

After the Civil War, the United States was still a mostly rural nation. By the 1920’s it had become a leading industrial nation of the world. This immense change was caused by three major factors.

Factor 1: Abundant Natural Resources 1. Which resources played crucial roles in industrialization? Crude oil; iron ore; coal

The Expansion of Industry 1 SECTION The Expansion of Industry Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization Black Gold Pre-European arrival, Native Americans make fuel, medicine from oil 1859, Edwin L. Drake successfully uses steam engine to drill for oil Petroleum-refining industry first makes kerosene, then gasoline Continued . . . NEXT

Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization BLACK GOLD Pre-European arrival, Native Americans make fuel, medicine from oil 1859, Edwin L. Drake successfully uses steam engine to drill for oil Petroleum-refining industry first makes kerosene, then gasoline

Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization In 1859, Edwin Drake used a steam engine to drill for oil This breakthrough started an oil boom in the Midwest and later Texas At first the process was limited to transforming the oil into kerosene and throwing out the gasoline -- a by-product of the process Later, the gasoline was used for cars

Factor 1: Abundant Natural Resources 2. How did Edwin L. Drake help industry to acquire larger quantities of oil? Used a steam engine to extract oil from beneath the earth's surface

Bessemer Steel Process 1 SECTION continued Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization Bessemer Steel Process Abundant deposits of coal, iron spur industry Bessemer process puts air into iron to remove carbon to make steel Later open-hearth process makes steel from scrap or raw materials NEXT

Bessemer Steel Process BESSEMER CONVERTOR CIRCA 1880 Abundant deposits of coal, iron spur industry Bessemer process puts air into iron to remove carbon to make steel Later open-hearth process makes steel from scrap or raw materials BESSEMER CONVERTOR CIRCA 1880

Oil was not the only valuable natural resource Coal and iron were plentiful within the U.S. When you removed the carbon from iron, the result was a lighter, more flexible and rust resistant compound – Steel The Bessemer process did just did (Henry Bessemer & William Kelly)

Factor 1: Abundant Natural Resources 3. How did the Bessemer process allow better use of iron ore? Was a cheap, efficient method for turning iron ore into steel

1 SECTION continued Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization New Uses for Steel Steel used in railroads, barbed wire, farm machines Changes construction: Brooklyn Bridge; steel-framed skyscrapers NEXT

STEEL New Uses for Steel Steel used in railroads, barbed wire, farm machines Changes construction: Brooklyn Bridge; steel-framed skyscrapers

NEW USES FOR STEEL The railroads, with thousands of miles of track, were the biggest customers for steel Other uses emerged: bridge construction (Brooklyn Bridge- 1883),and the first skyscrapers BROOKLYN BRIDGE SPANS 1595 FEET IN NYC

American skyscraper William Le Baron Jenney was an American architect and engineer who is known for building the first skyscraper in 1884 and became known as the Father of the American skyscraper.

Factor 1: Abundant Natural Resources 4. What new uses for steel were developed at this time? Railroads; barbed wire; farm machines; bridge and skyscraper construction

CH6:1 A – What natural resources were most important for industrialization? Oil, coal, iron ore, water. Why are these resources important? Spurred growth in various industries.

Inventions Promote Change 1 SECTION Inventions Promote Change An Age of Inventions Numerous new inventions change the landscape, life, work Continued . . . NEXT

Thomas Alva Edison the wizard of Menlo park Set up a research laboratory; Perfected the incandescent light bulb; Created a system for producing and distributing electrical power; Built power plants.

THE POWER OF ELECTRICITY 1876, Thomas Alva Edison establishes first research laboratory - 1880, patents incandescent light bulb - creates system for electrical production, distribution Electricity changes business; by 1890, runs numerous machines Becomes available in homes; encourages invention of appliances Allows manufacturers to locate plants anyplace; industry grows

THE POWER OF ELECTRICITY 1876- Thomas Alva Edison established the world’s first research lab in New Jersey Edison was a prolific inventor, holding 1,093 US patents in his name The DC supply system provided electricity supplies to street lamps and several private dwellings within a short distance of the station. On January 19, 1883, the first standardized incandescent electric lighting system employing overhead wires began service in Roselle, New Jersey.

CH6:1 B – How did electricity change American life? It changed the nature of business, made possible the invention of new appliances, and helped cities and industries to grow.

Factor 2: Increasing Number of Inventions 5. How did Thomas Alva Edison contribute to this development? Set up a research laboratory; perfected the incandescent light-bulb; created a system for producing and distributing electrical power; built power plants

Internal combustion engine

George Westinghouse, Jr An American entrepreneur and engineer who invented the railway air brake and was a pioneer of the electrical industry. Westinghouse was one of Thomas Edison's main rivals in the early implementation of the American electricity system. Westinghouse's system ultimately prevailed over Edison's insistence on direct current. GW develop the alternating current system.

Factor 2: Increasing Number of Inventions 6. How did George Westinghouse contribute to it? Made electricity safer and less expensive

Inventions Change Lifestyles 1 SECTION continued Inventions Promote Change Inventions Change Lifestyles • Christopher Sholes invents typewriter in 1867 • 1876, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Watson introduce telephone • Office work changes; by 1910, women are 40% of clerical workers • Inventions impact factory work, lead to industrialization - clothing factories hire many women • Industrialization makes jobs easier; improves standard of living - by 1890, average workweek 10 hours shorter - as consumers, workers regain power in market • Some laborers think mechanization reduces value of human worker NEXT

Christopher Sholes: Invented the typewriter His invention forever affected office work and paperwork It also opened many new jobs for women 1870: Women made up less than 5% of workforce 1910: They made up 40%
