2. Objective: The students will be able to analyze the impact of Jacksonian Democracy by interpreting salary and occupational structures of the adult male work force between 1820 and 1860 to determine the advent of the common man AP Focus With industrialization, comes despair for the wage laborer, which gives rise to labor organizing. Because they are a cheap form of labor, women penetrate the industrial workplace. The nation’s economy matures and diversifies as people are increasingly tied to trade, industry, and commercial farming. Historians refer to this development as the Market Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the American economy developed the beginnings of industrialization. The greatest advances occurred in transportation, as canals and railroads bound the Union together into a continental economy with strong regional specialization.

3. CHAPTER THEME Industrialization was mainly a northern phenomenon. The southern economy was comparatively stagnant and lacked diversity. Consequently, the two dominant classes, the industrial and merchant capitalist in the North and the planter-slaveholder in the South, wanted political and economic regulations and laws contrary to the other’s needs. For example, northern manufacturers favored a high protective tariff, which was not in the interest of the planter-slaveholders. The economic interdependence between the Northeast and the West would play a role in the debate over the expansion of slavery. This relationship grew so strong that the regions would ally against the Confederacy—keep in mind, the AP theme Slavery and Its Legacies in North America.
