Today my life is still effected by pollution. I think its really sad that there is so much pollution in the world. During the industrial revolution it was really bad and I am thankful that people realized, and wanted to make a difference. If nobody cared about the pollution back then, who know how bad it would be now.

For me, the transcontinental railroad was the best thing to learn about. I never knew that there was a railroad that ran through the country. At the time this was a really big deal for people. Also, it was really hard to build a railroad through mountains, snow, and deserts, yet we did it.

In this unit I learned what interdependence means. It means the dependence of two or more people or things on each other. So it is used to say that states are interdependent on each other to get resources. This was a very important once the railroads were built, interdependence helps our economy be stronger.

A big part of the Industrial Revolution was the change in community. Little farm areas became cities. More people started living in the same areas for work, so there started to be a higher population in certain areas. Cities were growing.

George Pullman had some pretty significant effects during the Industrial Revolution. Pullman designed sleeper cars. These cars made traveling far nice and comfortable. If you had to be on the train for two days, you now had a way to sleep.
