The Industrial Revolution was a time of modification for the United States of America. The old ways of life were scrapped, melted down, and reformed into a powerful machine of industry.

Revolution is not something that is made by political elites, but instead by customary individuals when they change the way they think and live. Social revolution is simply an adjustment in the way we experience our lives. It springs from changes in the way we think.

They began to push for a railroad system that spanned throughout the middle of the country. In 1862 President Abraham Lincoln signed a paper that would forever bring our country together. The Pacific Railroad act allowed the Central Pacific Railroad to build east from Sacramento and the Union Pacific Railroad to build west from Omaha. In doing this the westward expansion was…

In the United States during the Antebellum Period, market economy fostered a lot of change as well as continuities from the previous system.
