After working numerous jobs in factories and telegraph companies, he became the superintendent of the railroad company and entered the world of investments. Soon after he entered the steel business by owning the largest steel corporation of the world, Carnegie Steel Corporation. Carnegie also wrote many books and articles throughout his career. He died on August 11th, 1919 in Massachusetts.

By using technology that increased the efficiency of steel production, he established plants around the country. His previous investments in oil and iron generated Carnegie his wealth that he used to start and fund his steel company. He owned the raw materials, coal fields, and ships/railroads that were essential in creating the one of the largest steel corporations in the world. His company continued in its successful rise and was sold to the United States Steel Corporation in 1901, resulting in Carnegie receiving over $200 million dollars.]]> 2018-02-19 19:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233037728 sbhooths22 https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233042806 Carnegie assisted in the construction of many libraries by donating millions of dollars due to his passion for reading and learning. His donations resulted in the establishment of over 2,800 libraries, as well as the overall funding of education. He established the Carnegie-Mellon University in 1904, previously known as the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Carnegie also created the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1905 and 1910, respectively. ]]> 2018-02-19 19:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233042806 sbhooths22 https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233044840 Carnegie used his books and articles to emphasize the social responsibilities of those with wealth as he believed that they should help others in need, which can be seen as a result of Carnegie's previous experiences, since he grew up with financial difficulties. Carnegie focused on giving back to others through education as he recognized its value and believed that it should be accessible to all. For these reasons, I believe that Andrew Carnegie should not be considered a "robber baron."]]> 2018-02-19 20:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233044840 sbhooths22 https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233046968 https://www.biography.com/people/andrew-carnegie-9238756]]> 2018-02-19 20:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sbhooths22/fsogxnkupv0r/wish/233046968
