This expansion was prompted by the development of new roads, canals, railroads, and many other way of connecting different communities around the growing nation. This growth and prosperity encouraged people from struggling European countries to migrate to the United States in search of new opportunities. The majority of these immigrants came from Germany and Ireland. Some of the German immigrants had a decent amount of money and were able to move westward, while most or the Irish were extremely poor and had to remain in the over-populated coastal cities. This revolution also had a huge impact of Americans. It allowed people to start moving west, but also gave the people moving west opportunities to stay involved with manufacturing and business. All in all, this market revolution allowed european immigrants to come to the United States and succeed like they never had before. It also allowed Americans to move west while still staying involved in coastal business affairs.]]> 2016-11-04 12:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135342607 joeyfontana99 https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135342880 Entrepreneurs were leaders in the creation of the market revolution. This is probably because the revolution was very beneficial to them. As the United States economy grew, so did their bank accounts. Entrepreneurs worked to make their production as organized and efficient as possible so their companies could receive the most profit possible. As entrepreneurs they worked to create a strong relationship between themselves (the producer) and their customers (the consumers). The market revolution was really facilitated by entrepreneurs because they were trying to make as much profit as possible.]]> 2016-11-04 12:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135342880 joeyfontana99 https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135343253 All of these new inventions increased efficiency and thus increased profit. The new textile machinery harnessed the power of steam and increased efficiency ten thousandfold. The steamboat also led to increased efficiency because it made water transportation faster than it had ever been before. Interchangeable parts was a big deal in the 1850s, which gave rise to many new innovations including Colt's revolver. The telegraph was also very beneficial to industry because it made communication much quicker and easier. All of these innovations, along with many more, were in hope of increasing efficiency and productivity of industries in the United States.]]> 2016-11-04 12:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135343253 joeyfontana99 https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135343599 The legislative and judicial systems did everything they could to support the transportation revolution. They knew that new ways of transportation were crucial to a growing nation. They did this by creating many new transportation routes at this time. They created the Cumberland Road, the Erie Canal, and many more ways to get around the country faster than ever before. This was all in hope to unify the United States economy.]]> 2016-11-04 12:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135343599 joeyfontana99 https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135343980 There was a lot more forms of transportation between the West and the North at this time. For example, the Cumberland Road was one of the most important transpirational advancements at the time and it stretched form Maryland to Illinois. Also, the creation of the Erie Canal was a very important link between the industrial north and the midwest. Unfortunately, the south was some what left out of these transpirational advancements because the north was really focused on connecting itself with the growing midwest. ]]> 2016-11-04 12:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135343980 joeyfontana99 https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135344409 The market revolution completely changed the society of the United States. The US changed from a subsistence economy to a network of industry throughout the country. These societal and economic changes led to the implementation of new patent and monopoly laws. The role of men in society also drastically changed during this time. Men had also been more important to economy and industry up to this point. Around this time, women began to get involved. Still, men were the most involved in industry and economy, but for the first time in history, women were working in factories and contributing to the United States economy. From this, families became more tightly knit than they ever had been before. The market revolution was a huge change both socially and economically.]]> 2016-11-04 12:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135344409 joeyfontana99 https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135344802 The growth of manufacturing and transportation in the United States led to increased prosperity to all Americans. As manufacturing increased, more money began to flow through the United States. Also, this increase in manufacturing led to many more jobs, which also put more money into the economy and lowered the unemployment rate. As people began to make more money, and the economy grew, the standard of living significantly increased. Along with this prosperity, the gap between the rich and the poor increased. Even though many jobs were being created, unskilled workers still had lots of trouble finding jobs. Unskilled workers continued to live in poverty.]]> 2016-11-04 12:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joeyfontana99/d306hafdlb94/wish/135344802
