Areas began to move from rural to urban. Working went from manual labor to machine labor. Lastly, the society went from an agricultural society to an industrial society. This was big as before everything was about farming and agriculture. The culture took a turn for the better making changes like Great Britain already tried and was successful with.]]> 2018-09-25 00:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285292186 21maricocchinicholas https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285297996 Another major figure was William McKinley who one the election of 1896. He was big because this election was huge as it was the battle between the goldbugs and silverites. Goldbugs were for the gold standard and the silverites who wanted to use silver and gold to equal their currency in circulation. This was a big debate but William McKinley won and was elected the president]]> 2018-09-25 00:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285297996 21maricocchinicholas https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285298815 The new vocabulary word that I learned was philanthropist. A philanthropist was a person who spread his wealth to other people in need and charities. An example of a philanthropist was Andrew Carenige. He was one of the first millionaires and was a person who donated lots of his wealth to people in need.]]> 2018-09-25 00:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285298815 21maricocchinicholas https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285299947 The most interesting thing I learned was about Millionaire Row. This intrigued me because it is located in Cleveland. It is really close to where we live and interesting to know that some of the biggest business men at the time lived near us. The same goes for the Standard Oil company by John D. Rockefeller which was located in Cleveland as well. Its cool to learn about major factors in our history that happened right hear near our home]]> 2018-09-25 00:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285299947 21maricocchinicholas https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285300642 I can connect to the whole idea of how the populist party helped get 8 hour work days. With that and Labor Unions I would have to be working right now and not going to school or playing sports or having fun. I would be like a grown adult as a teenager. I appreciate what the Populist Party and Labor Unions did because my life wouldn't be the same as it is today.]]> 2018-09-25 01:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285300642 21maricocchinicholas https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285440083 One key figure was Horatio Alger. He was not well know but was a big factor in writing. He wrote a novel called the "Gospel of Wealth." It was for young kids teaching them the keys to be successful and the whole idea of "rags to riches." He was also a philanthropist and gave back to American society. His favorite thing to do was build libraries because they were free to use and anyone could pick up a book and gain knowledge something that Alger thought was very important.]]> 2018-09-25 12:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285440083 21maricocchinicholas https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285442223 Another big main idea was the different inventions made. Thomas Edison was considered the GOAT of inventions with 1,093 patents. Other inventions consisted of the the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and the typewriter by Christopher Sholes. Both of these inventions opened up opportunities for women to work outside of the house.]]> 2018-09-25 12:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/21maricocchinicholas/tnfv4dzovlm8/wish/285442223
