Image- Pioneer life was described as a wonderful experience. New uncharted territory was up for grabs. Wealth and life would flourish

Reality- Pioneers struggled to survive daily. Pioneers were starving and dehydrated. The land had never been worked before so farms had a rough start. Pioneers were extremely prone to disease, mental illness, and death from their surroundings. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/eranjennyschmidt/vyprej1ogee9/wish/136463601 eranjennyschmidt https://padlet.com/eranjennyschmidt/vyprej1ogee9/wish/136463602 Demographic changes in the United States from 1790-1860?

Owners of the factories now had more money. They became extremely wealthy and their families flourished. Workers and laborers, however, grew sick and weak from the intense amount of work with little pay. Unsanitary work conditions increased disease among the working and poor classes.

Women didn't need to create homemade goods as much. This allowed them to have less children and single women could have factory jobs
Advantages-
New products
More competition 
Lower prices
Women had a voice
New territory and inventions

Disadvantages-
Long hours with brutal working conditions
Increasing income gap between rich and poor

Transportation needed to advance in order to keep up with increasing demand for new inventions and products

Markets began to shift towards a nation level in comparison to the previous local market system. The south had an agricultural boom with led to an increasing amount of resources. Inventions such as the cotton gin allowed this to happen. Factories began to rule the northern states. The increasing demand led to a need for more production. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/eranjennyschmidt/vyprej1ogee9/wish/136463608 eranjennyschmidt https://padlet.com/eranjennyschmidt/vyprej1ogee9/wish/136463610 Which technological innovation was most important for early-nineteenth-century economic development?

Steamboats allowed industrialization to flourish. They enabled Americans to travel upstream quickly in order to transport goods and resources.

National trade became more effective.]]> 2016-11-09 16:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/eranjennyschmidt/vyprej1ogee9/wish/136463610 eranjennyschmidt https://padlet.com/eranjennyschmidt/vyprej1ogee9/wish/136463611 Why was transportation-particularly the canals and the railroads- so important in the early stages of industrialization?

Trade is what ran the American economy. New ways to transport goods and labor were crucial to the advancement of technology and society.
