The image that the frontier had moving westwards was one where there was opportunity for an individual to get rich fast. In reality disease spread throughout the frontier, conditions for food were poor, the environment and climate to which the voyagers were moving to/through was not what they were used to (causing many to become ill/die from not having the proper attire), depression was abundant, there was premature death, and unbearable loneliness was very prevalent.

Transportation in the canals and railroads was very important in the early stages of industrialization because while the the frontier was headed west the canals needed to be expanded for heavy resources, such as coal and iron, to travel to and from other states. The railroad provided for faster, more efficient transportation for the individuals and goods that were being moved.

The most important technological innovation within the early-nineteenth-century for economic development is the steamboat. This mode of transportation was the best for economic development because it allowed for faster travel upstream, especially because the canals were expanded.

Effects of the Market Economy
Farmers- A market economy provided for better farming tools and resources for farmers. The reaper was created in this period of time which provided for faster farming. The market economy also provided farmers with better business and more of an economic status because the crops that they would farm would be traded and sold with the people back on the Eastern Coast. (Allowed for a variability in crops and resources).

Laborers- With the movement of the market economy, it provided more jobs within factories and in all provided a better structure for the economy and the citizens who did not have a job prior to.

Women- A woman in the early nineteenth century was commonly placed within the household, taking care of the family when it came to meals and tending to the children. A market economy provided women with a chance to join the work force, which although the wage gap was very prevalent, would allow for a single woman to sustain life for themselves.

The market and transportation revolutions were caused by the economy prior to. The revolutions made the economy more industrialized, and with improvements made with transportation, the economy was able to evolve faster than ever before. With the additional resources provided from the newly added western half of the United Sates, the market within the US was booming better than ever before.

I support the statement that states, “clearly the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all”.  I agree with this statement because although the factory system did provide for jobs within America, the working conditions within those factories were commonly highly unethical. Child Labor laws were not prevalent yet and as I previously stated, the wage gap was very wide when it came to the pay of women.

Western Expansion from 1790-1860, in my opinion, was very beneficial for the United States economy as a whole. Although living conditions were very rough within the workplace and it is clear to see that some were treated better than others, several job opportunities and important innovations were created. The Transportation and Market Revolution proved to be very beneficial as well, providing advancements in technology (Reaper and Steamboat), and allowed for the creation of several new railroad systems.

The Cult of Domesticity and the rise of the child-centered family were signs of restriction on women's status and condition in America. Although it was a time when women stood up for the rights that many other had, the reason they had to stand up for their rights is perfect proof that their conditions were restricted. A woman's status was restricted as well because now that they were told they had to stay at home and live a life full of domesticity meant that several women were unable to go to college or further their education at all.

The "new family" of this time period was a progressive reflection of the American democratic ideals, because the "new family" allowed for improvements in the education for the children within the household. The idea of independence was also highly enforced for the children which allow them to live through morality and any mistakes that a child can make.

Utopian movements and reformations were very common in this time due to the inequality that was clear to see throughout the nation at the time. In doing so, the American citizen was able to question gender equality, prohibition, prison treatment, and punishment through the judicial branch.

The Second Great Awakening will go down as one of the most important times in history for evangelicalism. What made this different from the First Great Awakening, was the fact that the second time around women played more of an important role in this advancement. The Second Great Awakening allowed for women to have heavy influence within the household when pertaining to religion.

The main difference between the two excerpts in “Contending Voices: The Role of Women”, is the fact that the first excerpt is against the fact that women should have as many rights as they want, and the second excerpt is in support of women's rights. These excerpts are provided to show the change in public opinion on the idea of women's rights within the nation, and that through it all women deserve just as much as me do.

Continuities in Art, Architecture, and Literature in America During this time period
Art- Art went from historical paintings and painting about war/famine/hardships to pastoral mirroring/landscapes. In my opinion it provides for more of a hopeful, happier tone.

Architecture- Similar to the architecture of the old world; Contained symmetry, balance restraint (Federal Style), Stained glass windows (Greek Revival), and a Paladin style of architecture as well.

Literature- Went from philosophical and practical to having a more of an imaginative approach.
