The sleeper car was a more expensive, luxurious and comfortable train car. After he invented the cart, he installed the town of Pullman, Chicago. This eventually led to the strike of Pullman due to the workers poor conditions, long hours and child labor.

He drilled using the steam powered drill. This is very important because it led the way for future drilling and petroleum exploration. Due to Edwin's discovery we have gas, oil and diesel fuel.

A government where any advertisements  is legal, there are no rules or restrictions. Laissez-Faire played a massive role in the Industrial Revolution due to how the railways could charge different amounts to farmers. Also, that meant that they could charge farmers more to ship crops then they were profiting off them, causing the agricultural economy to drop.

As if no one had stood up to the system, then the conditions would be the same now. The cold/blazing hot factories, child labor, 18 hour work days, and so much more is mental and physical torture. Also, how children were worked for hours in deadly conditions with no pay.

I do it for no pay for my great grandparents out of the kindness of my heart. Sometimes it feels like child labor though due to the long days and awful weather.
