I love nature and going on hikes. But when the industrial revolution came around we never took care of the environment. We dumped oil in rivers, as well as pollution in general. For example the Cleveland river caught on fire many times due to the left over gasoline. Also our cities had no health code violations. Which our society and environment is still recovering today.

Something interesting i found along the way is how people were successful. Like all of the famous inventors, robber barons, and captains of industry. They all had a few things in common. They had a lot of money, influence, and power. At the turn of the century the railroads pretty much controlled the government. Although there were people like Carnegie there more businessman like Rockefeller and JP Morgan.

One vocab word I learned in this unit was Robber Barron. A robber Barron was typically a wealthy businessman. Who also got his wealth from capitalism. While gaining extra money by paying very low wages, and basically putting all the profits in his own back pocket. Therefore robbing his workers and the natural resources around him.

Another main idea to come out of this unit would be the laws or lack of laws for factories. Men , woman, and children were forced to work in the equivalent of sweat shops. Many people were laid off because of preventable mishaps. Unions eventually began to rise, trying to get fair wages, rights, and jobs for the male working class. Towards the beginning of this, the populist movement had come to a close but they were able to help build on what workers rights should be. Including eight hour work days, minimum wage, ban on child labor, and so on. Because of the unions and protests we have more fair conditions in our work force.

One main idea of this section is the shift of the industrial revolution. Farmers moved cities, manual labor turned to machine labor, and women and children could enter the work force. There were many cases where "shift happens", those are just a few examples. These shifts made many things more possible as in the national railroad was built.
