Ch. 24, Pgs U.S. History AP

Government Tackles the Trust Evil In 1890, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was signed into law; it forbade combinations (trusts, pools, interlocking directorates, holding companies) in restraint of trade. It proved ineffective, however, because due to loopholes in the law (just like the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887) it couldn’t properly be enforced. Not until 1914 was it properly enforced and those prosecuted for violating the law actually punished.

Monopoly, right, blasts Competition, center. Uncle Sam, far left, readies to fire a tiny cannon from Fort Legislation. Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890.

The South in the Age of Industry The South remained agrarian despite all the industrial advances, though James Buchanan Duke developed a huge cigarette industry in the form of the American Tobacco Company and made many donations to what is now Duke University. Men like Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution newspaper urged the South to industrialize. However, many northern companies set rates to keep the South from gaining any competitive edge whatsoever. Examples of this include the rich deposits of iron and coal near Birmingham, Alabama, and the textile mills of the South. –Still, cheap labor led to the creation of many jobs, and despite poor wages, many white Southerners were simply glad to have a regular paying job and viewed employment as a blessing.

As the Industrial Revolution spread in America, the standard of living rose, immigrants swarmed to the U.S., and early Jeffersonian ideals about the dominance of agriculture fell.  The group most affected by the new industrial age was women, who had swarmed to factories and had been encouraged by recent inventions.  Women found new opportunities, and the “Gibson Girl,” created by Charles Dana Gibson, represented a romantic ideal of the independent “new woman.” The Gibson Girl was young, athletic, attractive, and outdoorsy (not the stay-at-home mom type). However, many women never achieved this “ideal”, and instead toiled in hard work because they had to do so in order to earn money. The Impact of the New Industrial Revolution on America

Camille Clifford: 1 st Supermodel?

One of the greatest changes that industrialization brought about in the lives of American workers was the need for them to adjust their lives to the time clock. A nation of outdoor farmers was becoming a nation of indoor wage earners, but the fear of unemployment was never far, and the illness of the breadwinner (the main wage owner) in a family was often disastrous. Strong pressures to expand foreign trade also developed as the tireless industrial machine threatened to flood the domestic market.
