How did the market revolution effect where international migrants came to AND its effect on the westward movement of Americans? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145129763 Immigrants mainly settled in large northern cities where textile work was more plentiful, or in the west, where the land was abundant and cheap.]]> 2017-01-03 17:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145129763 2.) How did entrepreneurs help create a market revolution in production and commerce, in which market relationships between producers and consumers came to prevail as the manufacture of goods became more organized? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145179209 Entrepreneurs created devices such as the cotton gin, telegraph, steel plow, mechanical reaper, steamboat, and more.

How did innovations, including textile machinery, steam engines, interchangeable parts, the telegraph, and agricultural inventions, increase the efficiency of production methods? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145181433 These innovations increased efficiency because they all allowed for faster and easier industrial and agricultural production.]]> 2017-01-03 22:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145181433 4.)

Because the northern and western markets were now so connected, both areas came to depend on one another for their resources and specified products.]]> 2017-01-03 22:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145181773 5.) How did transportation networks link the North and Midwest more closely than either was linked to the South? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190138 Due to the placement of rivers and the Great Lakes canal systems were only able to be set up in the North and Midwest. Additionally, the terrain in these areas was better suited for building railroads and national roads, providing more connections between the North and Midwest than either territory with the South.]]> 2017-01-04 01:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190138 6.) How did the changes, caused by the market revolution, have on US society, workers' lives, and gender and family relations? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190602 Laws began to be passed that protected the rights of the worker, saying the "rights of the community" outweighed any exclusive corporate rights. More liberal state corporation laws were passed, granting investors the benefit of "limited liability" if their companies were sued or went bankrupt. More women were entering the workforce, while traditional women's work was considered superfluous and devalued. Families no longer grew all their own food and produced their own goods.  More people worked in factories, or planted just a few crops, selling their goods and buying more from the market.]]> 2017-01-04 02:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190602 7.) How did the growth of manufacturing drive a significant increase in prosperity and standards of living for some? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190831 Millionaires were becoming less of a rare occurrence, as these revolutionary advances in manufacturing made it easier for big business owners to accumulate wealth.]]> 2017-01-04 02:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190831 "Clearly the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all." rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190951 This is true, as even though it provided some with great prosperity, others were still disadvantaged. Unskilled workers fared the worst. Many would go to big cities in search of any type of menial work. Because there were so many men and women who drifted to cities for these reasons, many were unable to find work.]]> 2017-01-04 02:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rach905/m0crkm844ioy/wish/145190951
