He became rich through railroads and banking. He is the reason Monopoly (the game) was created. The little guy on the cover of the Monopoly game is J.P Morgan. It is a caricature of him which represents that he is in control of money, and there is only one big major power. The monopoly guy makes the rules of the game and he is in control of everything. ]]> 2018-09-26 19:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/21moyerkarla/qn1f774zi29h/wish/286243053 21moyerkarla https://padlet.com/21moyerkarla/qn1f774zi29h/wish/286607323 The railroads were built during the Industrial Revolution. They were built to ship goods to different parts of the US. It was also another and easier way for people to travel to their destination. Railroads are still used today but not as much as they were used during the Industrial Revolution. They are still used to move goods from place to place. Also, there are a lot of subways in big cities which travel on railroads. Railroads are still used today just like they were used during the Industrial Revolution. ]]> 2018-09-27 16:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/21moyerkarla/qn1f774zi29h/wish/286607323
