A telegraph system allowed information to flow from place to place more quickly than the speed of a horse. 

A transportation system based largely on steam power allowed goods to be shipped great distances at reduced expense. 

Also of great consequence was the development of the American System of Manufactures; this system, in which individual workers were responsible for only part of a finished product, helped make store-bought goods more affordable. As a result, people began to buy goods from stores rather than making them--the American consumer was born]]> 2022-03-25 02:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mpeet/odpyb5jylyj179jt/wish/2113027141 ewhitham4 https://padlet.com/mpeet/odpyb5jylyj179jt/wish/2113058286 Between 1845 and 1855 more than 1.5 million adults and children left Ireland to seek refuge in America.

Plessy v. Ferguson was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. The case stemmed from an 1892 incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for Black people. Rejecting Plessy’s argument that his constitutional rights were violated, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between white people and Black people was not unconstitutional. As a result, separate public accommodations based on race became commonplace.

In reality, it was not equal.
