However, the westward movement led to disease and deaths. The people that traveled there were very lonely and, overall, did not like it there.

The development of canals allowed goods to travel at a faster rate, which allowed for more inventions. The Erie Canal was the first canal to connect the West with the Atlantic. Overall, this increased trade, products, and inventions. The railroad was a very fast form of transportation. They were cheaper and could get people and goods to their destination very fast. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416156631 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416164570 The most important technological innovation for early-nineteenth-century economic development was the creation of the steamboat. Robert Fulton helped develop the steamboat, which proved to be a crucial innovation for expansion Westward. Farmers were buying land and gave settlers the opportunity to settle West. Goods and services were being transported in a faster and more efficient manner. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416164570 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416173734 The movement from a subsistence to a market economy had a big impact on American society. Instead of families growing food for themselves, they sold their crops and used the money to buy other goods from strangers. This transition to a new economy made farmers have to provide for more people, and having to plant more crops. More factories were created which meant more jobs for laborers opened up. Less homemade goods were used because of this change therefore women became closer to their family. The advantages of this new economy created for more overall competition which led to more goods and more inventions. The disadvantages were the jobs that people had to work did not pay a lot and consisted of harsh conditions. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416173734 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416180276 The desire for the East to be connected and involved with the West caused the market and transportation revolutions of the nineteenth century. Transportation allowed for goods to flow from both ways, and the market revolution created a new economy that was a flow of goods and services. The reason for these developments is that we needed a proper and reliable source of transportation in order to be a unified country. Our economy needed this shift because of our growing population and high demand for goods and services. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416180276 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416184718 I support the assertion "clearly the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all." The conditions seen in factories were very harsh and cruel. Workers worked long hours for little pay and their meals that were provided were not good. Women also worked more hours and got paid less. Children under the age of 10 were also seen working in these harsh conditions in factories. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416184718 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416188212 Westward migration was a new idea introduced to Americans when Andrew Jackson became president. The early life of the West proved to be not fun and miserable, however the introduction of new inventions, like the steamboat, canals, and railroads helped lead to demographic changes. More settlers migrated West and a difference in rich and poor occurred when we transitioned to a market economy. People of this time were intrigued with the West because of the new opportunities. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416188212 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416197478 The "cult of domesticity" and the rise of child-centered family signs was a restriction in women's status and condition. Women were not allowed to vote and did not have a big say in society. They had to immerse themselves in their homes and listen to everything that their husbands were telling them to do. ]]> 2019-11-25 15:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416197478 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416241592 The New Family was a progressive reflection of American democratic ideals because the families were smaller. This allowed for parent's focus to be put on one individual child. These children learn independence and and are shaped into good kids because they are the future of our country. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416241592 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416249449 America produced so many reform and utopian movements because they wanted to create a better life for the citizens, and they felt this would be the best way to do so. There were movements regarding alcohol, women, and education. These reforms and utopian movements created a sense of diversity throughout American culture because people wanted to see change. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416249449 311886 https://padlet.com/311886/xzzllrxqa4sc/wish/416252539 The First Great Awakening in the eighteenth century was based on religion.
