It made getting crops and planting crops for farmers probably ten times easier. It also opened more jobs for people in factories for kids and women. Non farmers salary increased a lot compared to working on farms. However, because farms kept increasing the amount of machines they used, many farmers lost jobs because with machines you do not need manual labor.]]> 2018-09-25 17:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/285686651 21degeorgedrew https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/285691114 The Transcontinental Road was a big impact on people in America during the Industrial Revolution. It was an inexpensive way to ship larger amounts of goods across America. The transcontinental railroad, and railroads in general lead to the creation of time zones, which have affected us drastically. It also made a couple of months to get across america on foot/ horse to just 6 days with railroad. Its meeting point was in Promontory Point, Utah. However, it affected the Native Americans in a bad way. It took their land and buffalo away from them.]]> 2018-09-25 17:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/285691114 21degeorgedrew https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287411648 Christopher Sholes was a very important figure in the history of the Industrial revolution. Christopher Sholes invented the typewriter, which was a easier way of printing words on paper than actually writing` The typewriter also opened and created more jobs fore women in the U.S. The main job that women used with the typewriter was being a secretary. It was one of the first times women were given an opportunity to have a job other than cleaning, etc.]]> 2018-10-01 01:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287411648 21degeorgedrew https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287413362 George Pullman was a very important and successful figure during the Industrial Revolution. Pullman studied passenger travel on trains and how people enjoyed it. He noticed that in trains it was very unsanitary and cramped, so he did something about it. Pullman invented the sleeper cars which offered people traveling a luxurious, comfortable ride with furniture and plenty of room to sit. Without Pullman, most people would not even want to ride on trains anymore.]]> 2018-10-01 01:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287413362 21degeorgedrew https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287420652 A new word that I learned was a philanthropist. A philanthropist is a person who donates large amounts of money to charitable organizations to promote welfare. I think this is a very good term because i think that at some point in your life, you should give some money away and to charity for the sake of other peoples needs, not your wants. Andrew Carnegie is an example of a philanthropist who gave away over 350 million dollars to charity]]> 2018-10-01 02:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287420652 21degeorgedrew https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287421402 What i thought was a really interesting part is that Ohio actually was important for something in history (Industrial Revolution). In Canton, Ohio William McKinley, our president back then, gave his presidential campaigns called "Front- Porch Campaigns" on his front porch in Canton. Millionaires Row is home to Cleveland, Ohio. More than 250 mansions are there on Euclid Avenue. It it also the originating city for the Standard oil company by John d. Rockefeller,]]> 2018-10-01 02:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287421402 21degeorgedrew https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287422421 The Industrial revolution has changed many peoples lives with the way it transformed America's economy. I think a big part that still carries from the Industrial Revolution to today is peoples jobs. Before the Industrial revolution, almost everyone were farmers. But after the industrial revolution, Many people stopped working on farms and moved to factories to get better pay and not be in the sun so long. The Industrial revolution also made 8 hour work days, which carries on to the amount of hours people work today. Standardized time zones is another example of creations during the Industrial revolution that are still here today.]]> 2018-10-01 02:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/21degeorgedrew/v63uyhhwsauz/wish/287422421
