During the industrial revolution this idea was thought up so that women and children could have jobs. But this also led to child labor and the death of many children. The reason so many died was because the machines were unsafe to use, They did not have any safety codes or conducts so it was a dangerous, but worth job.

The Transcontinental railroad was a railroad that connected the East to the West coast. The Irish and Chinese immigrants met the railroads in Promonatory Point, Utah This helped people move from the East to the West. But it removed a lot of the Indians land causing them ti get upset. Allowed more expansion of cities following the transcontinental railroad.]]> 2018-09-25 17:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/285689365 21millernoah https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/286631790 Thomas Edison - Thomas Edison had over 1,093 patents in his entire inventing career. The most important invention he created was the light bulb. The had tried over 10,000 times in trying to create such an important invention. He had came up with an amazing quote that most recognize today. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”]]> 2018-09-27 16:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/286631790 21millernoah https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/286990210 A new vocabulary term i learned was monopolies. A monopoly is when only one business creating one type of product. So there could only be one Steel business and everybody would get their steel from their. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act banned all monopolies in the United States by 1890. At first they made it a law but didn't enforce. But monopolies became so bad that they started to enforce their rule.]]> 2018-09-28 14:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/286990210 21millernoah https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/287561902 One interesting thing i learned was how ruthless some business owners were. They would competition out of business and money just to have more money for themselves. They would pay very low wage and make people work long, hard hours. If they didn't even like the look on your face they would fire you. They were just mean and rude monopolies.]]> 2018-10-01 12:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/287561902 21millernoah https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/287563347 One way the industrial revolution connects with us today is the way that we use steel. We still use steel to build skyscrapers, barbed wire, and ships. We also still have machines to help us do our jobs. But now, some machines can do your job for you. We still have large bussinesses that only produce one product. But now monopolies are banned so they can't have monopolies anymore.]]> 2018-10-01 12:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/21millernoah/kudc9q47jx4k/wish/287563347
