supply was a lot more than the demand.

It helped transfer goods across the country and quickly too. It helped many businesses grow and expand because of how fast it could transfer products to customers across the country. The railroad is still used today and is still being evolved into bigger and better things.]]> 2018-09-24 13:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/284991134 George Pullman 21brinkjoshua https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/286143653 He was a major person in the Industrial Revolution.

One of the biggest philanthropist during the Industrial Revolution was Andrew Carnegie. He donated millions of dollars. His favorite thing to do was build libraries because he loved helping education. When he died he had donated more than half of his life earnings.]]> 2018-09-26 17:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/286153155 Most Interesting Thing I Learned 21brinkjoshua https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/286159630 Farmers went into debt and lost a lot of other farmers from the Revolution. Due to the Industrial Revolution Farmers decreased because many people were moving to cities and starting to work at factories. Farmers started to overproduce due to new equipment from new inventions and this caused them to go into debt. Farming is still a big part of our economy today and will continue to be in the future]]> 2018-09-26 17:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/286159630 Connection 21brinkjoshua https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/286166732 My connection to this era is in fourth grade when our whole grade went on a trade ride. It was the train right by the Hartville Chocolate factory. It just shows how trains have kept on being involved in the economy.  Trains are evolving and becoming better at transporting people and goods across the country.]]> 2018-09-26 17:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/21brinkjoshua/fm9g2wlqm63k/wish/286166732
