Chapter 14: Forging the National Economy First used by Robert Fulton, the steamboat brought joy and excitement among the citizens of the United States. They now knew that, with the steamboat, people all over could defy wind, waves, tides, and downstream currents. Steamboats also allowed the South and the West to be opened up more in depth. Canals were the waterways in America. Canals, first used by Dewitt Clinton, helped get steamboats across America to different docks. One of the most…

600 million pounds of candy are bought every year for Halloween, which totals up to a whopping 1.9 billion dollars. Kids around the world are enjoying the fun of it yearly, which is great in my opinion. Even though nearly everyone loves Halloween, there are still some flaws I’ve seen while trick or treating, or in the news. Whether it is wasting candy, lacing it with drugs, or unenthusiastic people, I think we need to change it. If I could change something in the world, it would be the way we…

Kids also can have a little costume contest at school and get candy there instead of…

The Industrial Revolution was seen as positive, but it also brought many negative things along with it. The first negative effects were the poor/horrible living and working conditions, which were dangerous jobs that caused thousands of injuries and deaths; and tight, dirty, grimy, and extremely overcrowded living spaces. Secondly, there was a major lack of education for children and adults. And lastly, child labor made children work excruciatingly difficult, painful, and long jobs for absolute…

They both had prior experience of imitation. Japan had copied from China and Russia from Byzantium and the Mongols. They knew that learning from the West could be profitable and wouldn’t destroy their native cultures. In Japan, the Emperor Meiji sent out samurai to parts of the West to pick up ideas. Western style clothing such as ties, pants, and loafers replaced traditional samurai outfitting. Western hygiene including toothbrushes, vaccines and patent medicines were introduced and…

As it is clearly displayed in the first chapter of this work, England‟s nineteenth century witnessed a rise of industrialism. It was at that time that capitalism first stretched, accompanied with the „old-fashioned labour laws‟, which ranked the socioeconomic classes. It caused also a lot of if not a complete destruction and disorder on the lives of masses of people. However, these issues of the industrialization, and other sub-issues, which might seem less important in the eyes of some writers…
