The second Industrial revolution was a revolution for many reasons. One being the fact that there were a handful of famous inventors who created revolutionary inventions that have benefited The U.S since the day of there creation, secondly during the second industrial revolution electricity was now being used heavily all throughout america, and lastly there were 10x more jobs available and the U.S population saw a huge growth in as a result. For example, the  telegraph an invention that  has morphed and paved the way for what now know as the smartphone. And the railroad, once used for simply transporting goods has evolved into a transportation system for people (the CTA). All of that combined has revolutionized the world as we know it today

New Innovations

Historians have labeled the years from 1870-1914 as the period of the Second Industrial Revolution. While the First Industrial Revolution caused the growth of industries, such as coal, iron, railroads and textiles, the Second Industrial Revolution witnessed the expansion of electricity, petroleum and steel.

Many of the changes that occurred during this period had to do with new products simply replacing old ones. For instance, during this time, steel began to replace iron. Steel was being utilized for construction projects, industrial machines, railroads, ships and many other items. Steel production made it possible for rail lines to be built at competitive costs, which further spread transportation.

It is hard to imagine a time when electricity was not a common luxury. However, the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution was just such a time. Before the introduction of public electricity, candles and gas lamps were used to light homes and factories.

Many activities were simply done in the daytime. The use of electricity fundamentally changed the way people worked and lived. The first efficient commercial electrical generators were used in the 1870s. In 1881, Great Britain was the very first country to install a public power station. Beginning in 1910, it was possible to power a residential area from one single station.

Electrical Inventions and Improvements

The introduction of public electricity led to many inventions. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan finally perfected the design of the light bulb in 1879. Contrary to popular myth, Edison did not invent the light bulb. In fact, less efficient light bulbs had been around decades earlier. So, why is Edison given credit for this invention? His design was the first one that was practical for home use.

Edison's light bulb was economical and safe, and it stayed on for an impressive 13 and a half hours. Edison also provided another innovation that we take for granted today: the use of a standard light bulb base that fit into any socket.

Electricity was used for transportation, as well. In 1879, the first electric railroad appeared in Berlin, Germany. As early as 1880, electric streetcars began to replace horse-drawn carriages in major European cities. In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi sent radio waves across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.

Automobiles and Airplanes

Among the most influential and far-reaching innovations of the Second Industrial Revolution was the internal combustion engine. First introduced in 1878, it was powered by gas and air, which made it impractical for widespread public use. However, once liquid fuels, such as petroleum, were introduced, the possibilities were improved. This engine led to the development of automobiles and airplanes. Without the internal combustion engine, none of the following inventions would have been possible.

In a technological leap forward, German inventor Karl Benz patented the first automobile in 1886. This was the first automobile designed to run on its own power. This model became the first automobile sold to the public in 1888. In that same year, Gottlieb Daimler invented a lightweight automobile engine. Another pioneer, Henry Ford, made his mark by manufacturing his first automobile in 1896.

Prompts About the Second Industrial Revolution:

Writing Prompt 1:

In at least a paragraph, explain how the Second Industrial Revolution was different than the First Industrial Revolution.

Example: You could note the concept of newer materials replacing old ones, such as the use of steel as opposed to iron.

Writing Prompt 2:

Write an essay in which you detail the importance of electricity in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Example: You could describe how electricity changed the way people worked (i.e., that jobs could be performed at night, not only in the daytime).

Writing Prompt 3:

Write an essay in which you describe the importance of transportation in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Example: You could describe the value of the internal combustion engine.

Graphic Organizer Prompt 1:

Create a chart or some other type of graphic organizer that lists and briefly describes the contributions of the inventors noted in the lesson.

Tip: There are nine of them!

Speech Prompt 1:

Choose one of the nine inventors listed in the lesson. Write a speech in which you describe your latest invention. Be sure to describe its importance, what makes it unique, and how it is made. Remember, you are trying to sell your invention to your audience.

Example: If you are portraying Henry Ford, you could explain how easily the Model T is produced on the assembly line, and how it is affordable to the average American.

they way that this surge in population and jobs revolutionized the world as we know it today is by the incorporation of a really big number of people who otherwise would be jobless into these factors that were creating things like cars, things that were beneficial to and important. Granted a Henry ford factory was not exactly a dream job for anyone, but it did provide enough money so that its workers could possibly start a family or at the least it kept people off the streets, and as a result the homeless rate went down significantly. And to this day that idea and way of creating jobs is still being used, maybe not at such a high rate like it used to but nonetheless is still a huge part of the U.S industry. And it came about from the second industrial revolution

Electricity was a HUGE part of the second industrial revolution and in the second industrial revolution was when the first light bulb was created and the light bulb was the first example of electricity being used in such a way. The creation of the first light bulb, to me represents the creation of a new era. An era of innovation and that is because it was the first invention of the second industrial revolution  that we still use today . Not only that but also because like previously stated there were other revolutionary inventions that were created in the second industrial revolution but to me the creation of the light bulb was what paved the way for all the other inventions that came after. in the picture below it shows tomes Addison holding the fist light bulb ever created, the new era.

During the second industrial revolution there was a handful of famous inventors who created and evolved revolutionary inventions, things such as the railroad, the telegraph and the use of electricity in people's homes. All of those things have revolutionized the way people live and go about their lives here in the U.S .to this very day. As Previously stated there were inventions from the second industrial revolution that are still used today, the railroad and the telegraph are perfect examples of that. The telegraph is what paved the way for modern phones . As well as the railroad which has evolved into a form of transportation for people not just goods (the CTA). But life before the creation of the railroad and electricity was much, much different people were not able to travel long distances, so they were stuck for the most part to the confines of there state and people used candles  to light there homes and surroundings before the light bulb was invented. In the picture below we see a man using a telegraph to warn a Train on the railroad about bad weather, two inventions that have revolutionized are world.

The Second Industrial Revolution occurred after the first industrial revolution and after the civil war and that was around 1860-1920 and in that time period in America there were some very memorable Inventors that were on the rise, people like Thomas Edison, Nikolai Tesla and the most important Samuel Morse (inventor of the first telegraph). And things that were created at that time like the railroad and the conveyor belt are things that are still being used to this day, in other words they revolutionized the world as we know it. but what was it like before? before the second industrial revolution people would use candles to light there homes, and factories would take upwards of 16 hours to make one thing (before the invention of the convener belt) all in all before the second industrial revolution things were slower and that halted the explosion of innovation and creation that was yet to come
