After he moved to the United States he was employed in a series of railroad jobs. Through this experience, Carnegie accrued experience in the industry, quickly gaining stature. Throughout his tenure, a series of wise investments coupled with his total ownership of the various components required for his revolutionary steel business made him a wealthy man. He was instrumental to America's growth as an industrial powerhouse as his company became the largest of its kind. He died in 1919 in Massachusetts.]]> 2017-12-22 04:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eve_johnson7210/kvjofh95iubc/wish/217808353 eve_johnson7210 https://padlet.com/eve_johnson7210/kvjofh95iubc/wish/217808363 Steel was a burgeoning industry in the United States before the inception of Carnegie's Steel company. The discovery of deposits in the north, and particularly north east was quickly acted upon, which was only expedited by the bessemer process. Steel was transported by rail, and water to smelting factories. As American steel grew, it depended upon several factors including convict labor, an abundance of raw ore, and a strong technological foundation of efficiency as mastered by Carnegie. ]]> 2017-12-22 04:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/eve_johnson7210/kvjofh95iubc/wish/217808363 eve_johnson7210 https://padlet.com/eve_johnson7210/kvjofh95iubc/wish/217808373 Carnegie acquired his initial capital through the skillful investment in ventures including oil and communication. These initial profits built his first fortune by the age of 30, and would serve as the funds upon which his steel ventures would be built. Carnegie's ascension to a affluent master of industry can concisely be summarized as a gradual purchasing of the various industries which comprised the steel making process. Carnegie's ownership of all the component of his process allowed for him to fully maximize profits while minimizing inefficiencies. ]]> 2017-12-22 04:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eve_johnson7210/kvjofh95iubc/wish/217808373 eve_johnson7210 https://padlet.com/eve_johnson7210/kvjofh95iubc/wish/217808387 Carnegie began a life of philanthropy after reaching the age of 65.
