Technology advanced which allowed companies to hire unskilled workers for cheap labor, which caused the wealthy to continue to thrive economically as the working class suffered, therefore creating a large gap between social classes. Monopolies became popular with business tycoons success as Andrew Carnegie. The conservative federal court helped big businesses by ruling in their favor in court cases]]> 2019-01-16 16:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321307581 https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308064 1) steel production increased due to new methods of creation, which provided wealth to many business men who monopolized it’s creation and sold steel to make rail lines
2)railroad mogules monopolized the creation of railroads, and employed immigrants and blacks for cheap, charged high prices, and practiced vertical integration in order to consolidate wealth without having to forfeit any money to others.
3) factories increased production due to the increase in technology in the work place. More work and less money would eventually lead to the dissatisfaction of the workforce and would lead to a rise in union memberships.]]> 2019-01-16 16:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308064 https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308253 The second industrial revolution in America was caused by many factors, like the development of new technologies, such as new methods for creating steel. Because of the Gold Rush in the West, new railroad technologies had to be developed, such as the Transcontinental Railroad, which connected the nation and caused it to develop at an increasing rate. Railroads allowed many Robber Barons and Captains of Industry to rise to power, due to the need for railroad tracks and also for fuel in the form of coal depositories. With the nation's increasing reliance on machinery, the value of oil also skyrocketed. These huge booms created many tycoons, who used their extreme wealth and power to create monopolies and large companies. These powerful companies sparked industrialization with their increased use in machinery.]]> 2019-01-16 16:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308253 https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308290
-Railroads led by tycoons caused the increased production of steel and the need for coal shot up to run the trains. The steel factories caused the increased industrialization with the need for unskilled workers, which also consequently led to child labor. Oil companies and textile companies also started to use factory methods to mass produce and transport their goods to fuel the second industrial revolution.

Creation of the transcontinental railroad and bessemer steel. Companies created monopolies as they took control of entire markets causing people to believe in rags to riches, and to try and invent their own products such as Thomas Edison or Andrew Carnegie. ]]> 2019-01-16 16:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308449 https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308668 The Reconstruction, which allowed for railroads to be constructed, leading to railroad consolidation and corruption. Railroads helped interstate commerce and connected the country. Oil, Steel, & Electricity were being produced and introduced new materials for Americans to work with. These materials introduced new possibilities in the way of machinery, and railroads allowed for transportation of oil and steel to manufacturers. ]]> 2019-01-16 16:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308668 https://padlet.com/katherinegooch/y4b0jqlnmyes/wish/321308810

Railroads- The expansion of railroads led to a more connected nation that was able to transport products and resources faster.

Steel- the bessemer system allowed for steel to be produced faster and at higher rates allowing for improved machinery.

Electricity- The use of electricityallowed for factory machines that quickened production
