What is their legacy today

ndidato26 — 2024-05-14 14:32:07 UTC

Carnegie was viewed as the captain of industry in the 19th century, and was one of the sole constructors of the steel industry. Carnegie built the steel that allowed for the production of machinery and transportation throughout the United States. Carnegie changed the world of business by allowing for the availability of more jobs, and better life conditions for many with the constant construction of steel. Without Carnegie the industry would not look like how it is today. (ND)

Was your individual a philanthropist (someone who makes charitable donations)? If so, how?

ndidato26 — 2024-05-14 17:16:57 UTC

Carnegie was a philanthropist because he realized that he wanted to donate to causes that were worth his money. He started to donate to worthy causes, and constructed many libraries, while also giving money to foundations, colleges, and schools. Andrew Carnegie had donated around $350,000,000 of his money to charity by the time of his death in 1919. (ND) Britannica, The Editors of Encyclopaedia. "Andrew Carnegie."

Life story

llheureux26_1_1 — 2024-05-14 20:05:17 UTC

Andrew Carnegie's life began on November 25, 1835. He lived in Scotland, in a town called Dunfermline. Carnegie’s father, William Carnegie was a handloom weaver, a Chartist, and a marcher for workingman’s causes. Andrew began working when he turned 12, as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory. He quickly became Americanized, teaching himself by reading, attending school at night, and writing. When he was 14 Carnegie worked as a messenger in a telegraph office. While he worked there, he caught the notice of a superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. His name was Thomas Scott and he made Andrew his private secretary and personal telegrapher in 1853. In 1859 he took over Scott's job as superintendent of the railroad’s Pittsburgh division. By age 30, he was making over $50,000 a year. In 1901, he sold the steel company for $480 million. (https://www.britannica.com/money/Andrew-Carnegie )

Employee treatment

llheureux26_1_1 — 2024-05-14 20:17:44 UTC

Andrew used cheap labor to take over the steel business. After a worker's riot at the Homestead steel plant in Pennsylvania, one of his managers fired all the workers and hired armed guards. After the riots, 20 workers and 4 policemen died. He took most of the money for himself, creating poor work environments for many of his employees.(https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/historyofus/web09/features/bio/B01.html#:~:text=He%20paid%20his%20workers%20poorly,fabulously%E2%80%94or%20obscenely%E2%80%94wealthy)

Andrew Carnegie was a captain of industry

llheureux26_1_1 — 2024-05-15 01:25:29 UTC

Even though he didn't care too much for his employees, Carnegie was not a "robber baron. He created many jobs and was a pioneer in the steel industry. He was one of the few who made the American economy boom. He became wealthy from his steel company, however, he gave away most of his fortune in the name of philanthropy. He created 1,689 libraries in The U.S. and Puerto Rico alone. He also influenced many foundations and devoted most of his late life to charity.
