8. The Industrial Revolution in America. Describes the general growth of large production and urbanization that took place in the US between the Civil War and WWI. America started as a mostly farming economy and society, and transitioned to a production and sales nation. –We are going to look at some of the reasons and results of this.

9. Causes of the Industrial Revolution in USA Steel farm equipment. –Less farm workers –Greater demand for steel. Steam engine. Growth of railroads made transportation easy and cheep. Immigration increased. –Contributed to extra labor –Extra workers then move to big cities looking for jobs –Provide labor for factories. New tactics such as division of labor and mass production made producing more profitable. –Craft vs labor –http://www.history.com/videos/the-industrial-revolition#the- industrial-revolitionhttp://www.history.com/videos/the-industrial-revolition#the- industrial-revolition

12. Urbanization Thousands of citizens and immigrants moved to the cities for work. This causes more companies to center their operations in large cities. –Because of poor transportation, workers must live close to their jobs sites- causes crowding. Because of the birth of steel, taller buildings and other infrastructure could now be constructed-skyscrapers. Cities then began to grow up instead of out. Most people lived in crowed apartment like buildings called tenements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsrdkySRSCY&feature =relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsrdkySRSCY&feature =related

15. Exports With factories and production becoming so profitable, the US begins to produce a surplus. The surplus can then be sold on the global market for a profit. –Capitalism With exports, come money, influence, and power.

20. Labor Movement Most of the educated business owners held all of the power in the work place looked down on their labor employees. –This caused owners to treat workers little better than paid slaves.-Long turn. –http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acp- _B7jl40&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acp- _B7jl40&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1 –Anyone could learn the work, so any workers who brought up reform would be fired and replaced. The American labor movement centered around an end to long hours, unsafe conditions, low pay and other abuses. While workers were often uneducated, they had one powerful weapon, the strike, which took money directly out of the owners pockets. Strikers and especially strike organizers were dealt with harshly at first, but would come to be recognized by the government. –It would take most workers until WWI to win the modern 8 hour work day.
