was the push to invert in industry as great as in New England. In 1793, a british immigrant named Samuel Slater her established in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the first successful mechanized textile factory in America. Northeasterners, prompted by changing economic conditions, invested their capital in factories and manufacturing operations. The North had not eliminated…

The building of the first transcontinental railroad by the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroad companies was a monumental feat. Plans for the first railroad had begun well before the Civil War. In fact, the Central Pacific started building east from Sacramento, California, in 1863. But the Civil War delayed progress until 1865. Then the Union Pacific started out from Omaha, Nebraska, and the two companies worked towards each other to cover almost 2000 miles. (Gilded age) And in 1869 the…

The hukou system is an official record in the system of household registration that is required by law in China. It also demands that workers bring their labor to the factories, but not themselves, and they also have no security in housing, healthcare, or benefits. This makes it incredibly hard for one to find and secure a job, not to mention it does not make much sense either; how can one not bring oneself to work? The…

in European history is very complex, but it is possible for some conclusions to be drawn. During the Industrial Revolution, there was a strengthened divide between classes of society, terrible health among citizens, and poor working conditions in factories. Societal classes had existed in Europe long before the Industrial Revolution. However, these classes began to function differently with the growth of industry. In Document 4, Edward Goodall’s Cottonopolis, we see an almost complete…

The Industrial Revolution was a period of industrial growth during the late 1700s and early 1800s. This period of industrialization began in England but then spread to other areas of the world. The Industrial Revolution is such a significant period of history because machines were created that could do the work that people originally did. Before the revolution, England was a collection of rural communities that revolved around farming. From 1700 to 1750, Britain’s population had relatively no…

social and political problem. The children of the low class families were expected to work. They’d work in farms, factories helping around their houses and this rapidly grew into having children sold for money in market places. According to Annabel Venning of Mailonline wrote in her article, “Consequently, more and more poverty-striken workers were driven into the major cities and factories.” As the cities started to expand so did poverty. The children were sent out to work when they seemed to…

lower labour costs, lower rent costs in overseas factories but many of these come with the problem of inadequate health regulations and living costs. Many big name companies use this tactic to manipulate economic expenditure for their gain. However, this corrupts many children around the world and strips them of their childhood. That being said, child labour should not continue anywhere and should be banned globally.…

got jobs in the city. This lead to an increase in investments in industry and the making of bigger and more powerful machinery. Factory owners hired workers to work the machines but paid them low wages in order to save money. As industrial competition increased working conditions worsened. Many people lost limbs, lives, and became crippled from the work in the factories. Working 10-14 hours in the lint and dust filled…
