Advancements in farming equipment made farmers work easier and allowed them to harvest more crops. Having new equipment and improved livestock breeding led to an increase in food production. It allowed a spike in population and increased health. The new farming techniques also led to an enclosure movement. ]]> 2018-09-25 18:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/285719623 21begueelliana https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/285721406 Before the Industrial Revolution people lived in rural environments but after the Industrial Revolution people began to live in Urban environments. A reason people moved to urban areas is because rural houses were cheaply built and overcrowded housing. Another cause is the industrial pollution. And the last cause is terrible sanitation. ]]> 2018-09-25 18:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/285721406 21begueelliana https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286500214 A monopoly is when a company or individual has total control over an entire industry. The great economic power that monopolies hold has also had positive consequences for the United States. The benefits of having a monopoly like Standard Oil in the country was only realized after it had built a nationwide infrastructure that no longer depended on trains. The last great American monopolies were created a century apart, and one lasted over a century. ]]> 2018-09-27 13:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286500214 21begueelliana https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286501049 An interesting thing I learned about the industrial revolution is that the U.S was a good fit for the industrialization. We are a good fit because we have an abundance of national resources and we had a great spirit of invention. Another reason we are a good fit because we had a growing population/labor force. The last reason is our government was laissez faire ("hands off"). ]]> 2018-09-27 13:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286501049 21begueelliana https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286609971 Andrew Carnegie used the Bessemer Process and soon became one of the most efficient producers of steel. He donated most of his income to libraries and churches. He took advantage from of the lack of government laws and created a monopoly. He was one of the most important philanthropists of his era. ]]> 2018-09-27 16:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286609971 21begueelliana https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286612243 JD Rockefeller was one of the well known business endeavors by creating the oil industry known as the Standard Oil Company. He created a monopoly. He made most of his money from monopolizing America's oil industry. The Rockefeller trust controlled approximately 90 percent of the petroleum production in the United States. ]]> 2018-09-27 16:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286612243 21begueelliana https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286760682 We still today connect with the industrial revolution. A way we connect is by trains. People still use trains today and they are still used to import goods to places all over the United States. Trains have been a huge benefit to people back then and nowadays. ]]> 2018-09-27 22:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/21begueelliana/3bt2jyzi4grb/wish/286760682
