The mid-nineteenth century was the immense time of British radicalism. Illustrative of the time was William Ewart Gladstone, who served as leader four times somewhere around 1868 and 1894. Before 1848, Gladstone had been a traditionalist with a solid reformist streak; his two noteworthy interests were unhindered commerce and the restoration of London's whores. “By the 1860s he had gone separate ways with the traditionalists and turn into a main liberal, pushing for expansion of the establishment…

Stereotypical peasant life in the eighteenth century revolves around the poor, subsistent farmers who are economically tied to the land struggling to survive day-to-day. Akin to the focus on labor and food, the fairy tales, which were mainly oral traditions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, usually ended with the protagonist being rewarded with food or an aristocratic lifestyle void of manual labor. Thus, the fantasies of the peasants, to eat and relax, were realized through fairy…

Over the years this source of revenue has shifted considerably, leaving behind large fissures in the social fabric. Reflecting upon the area, Lexington and Thomasville, the two incorporated areas of the county, were once the locations of large industrial mills. Now the shells of dilapidated buildings remain as symbols of what once was a thriving industry. Surrounding the mills are areas over run with low income housing in what were once mill homes. These areas represent the primary housing…

"We want no manufactures; we desire no trading, no mechanical or manufacturing classes. As long as we have our rice, our sugar, our tobacco and our cotton, we can command wealth to purchase all we want." This is a way an Alabama politician summed up the southern point of view. But without the North the south wouldn't be able to live in this fragile system nor the North without the south. The North and the south had many differences but in those differences also came many comparisons. The North…

Labor unions have been a part of the American workforce since colonial times (Cussen, 2012). In their early forms, these unions were craft guilds and mutual aid societies composed of skilled craftsmen, with the aim to restrict entry into a craft and enforce workplace standards (Domhoff, n.d.). As the workplace became more industrialized and skilled labor replaced with mechanized, compartmentalized, lesser skilled workers, skilled craftsmen felt their livelihood threatened (Domhoff, n.d.).…

I started considering Industrial revolution as a topic when I heard about the terrible work conditions and child labor. My teacher had been teaching about the industrial revolution, so I had already knew a lot about the industrial revolution. I was glad to hear about how all of the problems of the industrial revolution led to labor unions. A labor union: an organized association of workers, often in a trade or profession, formed to protect and further their rights and interests. But I also felt…

The definition of the first industrial revolution can be broken into two primary parts. Essentially these parts are, one, the discovery and use of new power sources to, two, optimize newly invented or advanced technology (Introduction). It originated in England beginning in the 1700’s, the first phase did not end until approximately the 1870’s (Marshall). England was the leader in developing commerce and therefore needed more goods to satisfy the dramatic population growth (Hackett). They…

People around the world agree that this is wrong and that it has to stop, but not much change has been made. In child labor, children are deprived of a life with school and in replace they…

Charles Franklin Kettering, who was an American inventor and businessman, once said, “An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he’s in”. These inventions, revised 999 times, can have great impacts. New inventions, innovations and technology impacted industrialization and American life in the late 1800s. The Bessemer process allowed for quicker and cheaper production of steel - which became the main material for large-scale building projects. Direct and alternating current…
