Over the course of two centuries, the ways that wars and battles are fought have changed drastically, and yet the end goal has always remained the same, to win and not be defeated no matter at what cost. As the progression of the Industrial Revolution escalated, it paved the way for what could be produced to help military forces win in battle. Industrialization during the 18th & 19th centuries caused the battles of Waterloo and the Somme to be a great example of how industrialization helped evolve war tactics and weaponry to effectively defeat the enemy.…
Industrialization produced a negative impact on society.The people in the United States industry went through a hard time working and earning money in the early 1900’s.

When America became industrialized it changed the the late 1800, many ways. At the time of the Gilded age nature, wealth, economy ,even the way workers were treated changed.…
During the years 1865-1900, American society was changed forever by industrialization. Industrialization negatively impacted the economic state of America, as seen by the lowered wages and monopolization of the market. Industrialization also negatively shaped society by creating sharp divisions among the different social classes. It impacted politics in a negative way as well, mainly through the political machines and corruption that occurred during the height of industrialization.…
1. Discuss the major factors that promoted the development of industrialization in the United States during the late nineteenth century. New power sources facilitated American industry’s shift to mass production and also suggest the importance of new ways of organizing research…
During the 1800s, there was an era called the Industrial Revolution, which resulted in many positive changes and influences on the world such as technology advancement, new machines, and better lives for the people. For these reasons, goods were produced cheaper, people earned more money by working in the factories, and there was better infrastructure than before the Revolution.…
The impact that industrialization had on the Guilded Age was huge. Companies could manufacture products a lot more efficiently than before. Talented Craftsmen were being fired and replaced by unskilled immigrants that were willing to be paid less, and not as many people were needed for a factory to run properly. These are just a few examples of the major impact that industrialization ha on the Guilded age. Industrialization was basically large scale companies obtaining machines to be able to mass produce produce products for a very low price. Employees that were working in these factories either had there salary reduced, or they were fired and replaces by immigrants that were willing to work for cheap. Because of industrialization basically…
In the nineteenth century a series of innovations in transportation and economic expansion transformed our economy from an agricultural standpoint to one now mainly focused on new methods of production and having an endless commercial ambition. Previously most american families would produce what they needed at home for subsistence and sold anything left over to local stores but, now our country has slowly shifted to an industrial economy where a bountiful of economic opportunities for the “common man” has emerged due to western expansion and the emergence of Northern trade through new ways of transportation. Farmers began to grow for profit and not self sufficiency and many factories and cities began to flourish.…
Many things came to be at the turn of the 19th century, such as the Industrial Revolution, which brought many positive things to the world today. One of many positive effects was the lift off of innovative technology. Such as the telegraph and telephone. These inventions transformed communications in which sped up the sharing of important knowledge (Wyatt 112). Technology led to the development of mechanization in which another positive effect was the ability to mass-produce. Machinist had to individually cut out and create parts but with the help of machines. The process of creating uniformed components for finished goods became rapid and simple (Wyatt 110). Mass production helped with the economical growth at it ensured…
The Industrialization of American began in the early 1800’a when Samuel Slater brought new manufacturing technologies from Britain to the U.S. and founded the first U.S. Cotton Mill in Massachusetts. However, the period following the civil war changed the industry immensely, especially due to the creativity of American Inventors. Innovations in transportation such as the rail road, the size of the American market due to the use of an abundance of raw materials, and incredibly versatile inventors, such as Thomas Alva Edison, who made appealing new products available for good prices, were incredibly creative in their inventions, contributing to the efficiency of American Industrialization in the late 19th century. The invention of the railroad system made huge contributions to the rapid pace of American Industrialization in the late…
Industrialization grew in many ways during the 1800’s. “It was largely pioneered by the northeastern cities in the united states” (Lecture 11). Many factors made Industrialization in America possible, including Natural Resources, New Transportation Systems, Industrial and Mechanization. The Industrial Revolution began in England because it had the resources that were needed. It all started with cloth industry. Making cloth by hand for pants, shirts, socks, bedspreads and other domestic items always required lots of skill and time. But this domestic production system could not keep up with the growing demands of England’s growing population. Instead, a series of innovations shifted textile production to a new factory system. As a result of the Industrial Revolution,…
“The Industrial Revolution is the name given the movement in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacture.”(Lewis Hackett, 1992)After the Civil War both the North and South parts of America were left in ruins; this caused there to be a boom in business, especially the steel business. When talking about this time in American history it is important to know that this period changed the lives of everyone in the U.S for the better or worse. The Industrial Revolution forged American society and changed the way we looked at immigration, urbanization , and the west.…
American society hit a major transformation after the Civil War ended. Challenged, industries wanted to make products more quick and efficient. It would be an amazing change and it would greatly influence everybody. In order to do so, new tools and methods were used to improve the way products were made. There were a lot of inventions and ideas that contributed to the technology and industrial growth, such as the creation of electricity, expanding transportation, and industrialization.…
Industrialization had a positive impact on U.S society because of the Invention of Automobiles, Increase in railroads , and the Invention of the light bulb and electricity. These had a positive impact on the United States. There are many reasons that were a positive impact. There is 3 that were the most important effects of industrialization.…
Where would Western civilization be without the “long” 19th century affects on the unconstrained and continuous progress it made in peoples lives? The industrial revolution was key for major inventions that would help boom the economy. For example, the steam power’s advantage was its efficiency in mass production and the only resources needed were water and heat. This is one of the many new inventions to help increase production at a faster rate and be more cheap. Labor laws were very poor when the industrial world was creating its start. There was a constant battle between the company owners and the working class for better working conditions. While working conditions improved so did the working class voice on their rights. Beforehand the…
