The railroad made it a more effective way to travel across the country and transport goods. This railroad was built by Chinese and Irish immigrants in 1869.

This fire happened in 1911 at New York City. A small fire started on the 8th floor of the building and started to burn the rest because it was made of all wood. About 150 workers died due to the bad safety regulations. The changes that were enforced due to the fire were the sprinkler systems, occupancy limits, and regulatory safety checks.]]> 2018-09-26 17:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/286169133 21eckelsjacob https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287407052 Christopher Sholes was born of February 14, 1819.

William McKinley ran against William Jennings Bryan in the Election of 1896. The main issue at this time was what metal use for the U.S. monetary system. William McKinley was a gold bug which meant he wanted gold to back up the supply. McKinley won the election for the Republican party which marked the end to the Populist party. ]]> 2018-10-01 00:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287407906 21eckelsjacob https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287409035 A philanthropist gives back his or her wealth to the less fortunate. Many of these times the donor will give back to an organization or something to promote good. Andrew Carnegie was one of the first millionaire in the steel industry and he was a big philanthropist during the industrial revolution. There are many examples of people today using there wealth on others.]]> 2018-10-01 01:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287409035 21eckelsjacob https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287409980 An interesting thing I learned was that the first Industrial Revolution was in Great Britain. That influenced the change for Americans for more of a hands on approach. This was the change from working on the farms to working in the factories. Prior to the industrial revolution the government was hands off.]]> 2018-10-01 01:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287409980 21eckelsjacob https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287410043 Ever since the railroads were invented traveling by train has been a thing. Without the invention of these train systems travel would be much harder. If you think about it almost every city has train systems and railroads. Some people in these cities dont even have cars so without the railroads life would be more difficult for some. ]]> 2018-10-01 01:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/21eckelsjacob/vyq35b2h8ay5/wish/287410043
