Farming is hard to find info on but we can assume it was most likely picked by hand since the mechanical reaper was for wheat and not cotton. There isn't much on farming I won't lie.]]> 2022-11-11 15:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380369112 Da Harvest kennethgriffin3 https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380369294 Made by Eli Whitney, Cotton Gin. Creation of this small tool led to a more efficient farming of cotton as it separated seeds from the cotton. Led to more slave usage which is next. Used on large plantations as we expanded westward with more and more land, coinciding with more and more need for effective farming tools.
John Deere’s steel plow led to quicker creation of farmable land as it was a horse drawn shovel type item that stirred up ground. This was the first of many innovations to the steel plow that revolutionized efficiency of land farming.

Large plots needed many slaves to fill as much time effectively as possible.
Keep in mind slavery generally grew only in the south as in the midwest.

Natives got pushed back more and more as we expanded westward. Could also coincide with the trail of tears as it took place around the time as well, as well as the tension building up to it.]]> 2022-11-11 15:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380369742 Da Transportation kennethgriffin3 https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380370226 Eerie canal was the first form of transportation that led to the U.S becoming an economic powerhouse without reliability on Europe.
Railroads were significantly more used due to their flexibility in comparison to canals. Though canals did offer some great advantages they were not used because of the requirement it takes to create one. Federal and private investors spent most of the money in order to create this new architecture.
Cumberland road was the first highway built by the federal government Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was the first prominent rail road.

Based off the United Kingdom textile industry. Paid first off of contract per hour and sometimes off product produced instead of hours working.  Created wage labor in which a person sells their labor under contract for a sum of money.
Worked under the times of around 5am-7pm, leading to some 80 hour work weeks. Lowell's factory used young women as workers, with a low wage as they received severe abuse
Deskilling: Have less skill family based specialization, now have many people creating the small parts that all come together. Interchangeable parts led to easier replication, less cost, more effective creation, and easier replacement.]]> 2022-11-11 15:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380370489 Da Workers kennethgriffin3 https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380371257 Lowell's factory used young women as workers, with a low wage as they received severe abuse. The women had very dangerous and unhealthy working conditions and worked under the times of around 5am-7pm, leading to some 80 hour work weeks.
If you got hurt either figure it out or get replaced because there are 500 people who want your job
Addition of poor immigrants led to even more people wanting these really really just sucky jobs and honestly it seems stupid but if you're broke whatcha gonna do?

Water was super duper important, whether Canals or the Atlantic. 2/3 of the worlds cotton supply came from the South.
New Orleans, Galveston, Texas were both some important ports. Domestic commerce was more important than international commerce during this time. We went from dependent on England to fueling New England..]]> 2022-11-11 15:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380372350 Da Economy kennethgriffin3 https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380372537 We sold most of our cotton to the British empire that we didn't use for our own domestic gain. We used Atlantic navigation to get to the British. We were super powerful and cotton was generally only through us, so prices were high because we said so. After the civil war prices dropped because Europeans found cheaper sources.]]> 2022-11-11 15:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380372537 Da Government wyatt_durbin https://padlet.com/wyatt_durbin/uol6zeqz7mta2itz/wish/2380609495 Taxes and involvement
