However, it failed to depict how crude life on the frontier could actually be. There were numerous diseases that plagued the area, and isolation that created mental disorders within the household. ]]> 2016-11-10 05:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629154 Why was transportation—particularly the canals and the railroads—so important in the early stages of industrialization? alyssafigueroa46 https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629177 Transportation made trading easier from not only the North to the South, but from the East to the West as well. These newly manufactured goods could now be transported with ease all across the country. Major transport and trading cities such as new orleans opened up opportunities for international trade as well, but without new transportation innovations, it would've taken too long. One example of an innovation is the Eerie Canal, which connected the great Lakes to Ne ]]> 2016-11-10 05:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629177 Which technological innovation was most important for early-nineteenth-century economic development? alyssafigueroa46 https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629188 The steamboat could arguable be the most important. It was created by Robert Fulton in 1807, and it forever altered naval transportation. Traveling upstream at a fast pace was now a reality, and there was no longer the strong dependence on unfixed mechanisms such as wind or weather, in order to effectively operate. ]]> 2016-11-10 05:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629188 What effects did the movement from a subsistence to a market economy have on American society, including farmers, laborers, and women? What were the advantages and disadvantages of the change? alyssafigueroa46 https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629206 With all of these new agricultural inventions and innovations, farmers were now able to plant more crops and to turn more profits with less work. Farm women shifted into more duteous roles, such as factory jobs that could provide additional income. While this was minimal, it allowed for females to have economic independence from their spouse. Also, this increased amount of factories led to more job opportunities, and it attracted more immigrants too. Some advantages were lower prices, tighter family units, and technological improvements. Disadvantages were the increase in slums, and poor working conditions. These slums allowed for a greater gap between the rich and the poor as well. ]]> 2016-11-10 05:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629206 What caused the market and transportation revolutions of the nineteenth century? As you read this chapter, how many different reasons for the development of these changes can you identify? alyssafigueroa46 https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629222 These revolutions were caused because of canals and new roads to connect various and distant places. The Erie Canal was a major inspiration for states, and so they allocated millions for internal infrastructure. ]]> 2016-11-10 05:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629222 In this chapter, the authors maintain that “clearly the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all.” What relevant historical evidence can you find in this chapter or the previous ones that supports, modifies, or refutes this assertion? alyssafigueroa46 https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629234 I support the statement that says that the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all. I say  this because woking conditions were usually horrible, whether they be long gruesome work hours,  unsanitary workplaces, insufficient meals, or even child labor. Workers were exploited, and this is why there were riots and court cases such as Commonwealth v. Hunt, that brought these issues to the surface. ]]> 2016-11-10 05:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629234 As you read this chapter, can you combine the information from the primary source excerpts, tables, figures, maps, and text to create a persuasive understanding of westward migration and demographic changes in the United States from 1790 to 1860? alyssafigueroa46 https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629244 Andrew Jackson, the first president who was from beyond the Appalachian Mountain Range, encouraged the westward expansion, and for americans to fully achieve Manifest Destiny. His previous battles with native americans in the seminole wars had desensitized him enough to where he was able to relocate thousands of tribes by force, in order to achieve this dream of american imperialism. In1860, he sided with these land hungry white males, because he felt as if they were the "Common man," just as he was. By 1880, the bulk of the wealth seeking population was near the Ohio River, and they were moving towards the Mississippi. The physical environment was molded by this migration as well.]]> 2016-11-10 05:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssafigueroa46/szrnm6240wj4/wish/136629244
