In 1848, Carnegie moved to Pennsylvania with his family. He worked various rail-road jobs in different places. By the time 1889 came around, Carnegie owned Carnegie Steel Corporation, the largest corporation in the world. In 1901, Andrew Carnegie sold his corporation and continued to work in philanthropy. In 1804, Carnegie-Mellon University was established. He also established the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 1905 and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1910. Carnegie died on August 11, 1919. ]]> 2016-12-20 20:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144526220 3lena67 https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527111 The Carnegie Steel Company revolutionized the United States' steel production. The company became so successful because none of the processes needed to be done by other companies. Steel was made and transported by the Carnegie Steel Company, therefore saving money and making Andrew Carnegie an extremely wealthy man. The company was the biggest corporation of its' time. ]]> 2016-12-20 20:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527111 3lena67 https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527173 Andrew Carnegie gained his wealth from owning the Carnegie Steel Company. Corporation had a "start-to-finish" process that maximized the money that was brought in. However, the company did not pay the workers as well as it probably should have, considering the fact that Andrew Carnegie was extremely wealthy. By not paying workers as much, Carnegie got more money. ]]> 2016-12-20 20:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527173 3lena67 https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527220 Despite the accusations of not treating workers fairly, Carnegie did contribute in many positive ways to society. In 1901, he sold the company and used the money to make donations to various causes. He established Carnegie-Mellon University, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He believed that the wealthy had to use their money to help others. ]]> 2016-12-20 20:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527220 3lena67 https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144527510 http://www.history.com/topics/andrew-carnegie#

By working in philanthropy after selling his company, Carnegie righted his wrongs and made a positive difference in America. Without him, industry would not be he same and Carnegie-Mellon University would not exist. Carnegie gave back what he took from people and, because of that, should not be considered a Robber Baron. ]]> 2016-12-21 17:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3lena67/rcw10g9o575r/wish/144615544
