Presentation transcript:

TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND THE IMPACT ON GEORGIA

The U.S. Grows  In 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte sold the Colony of Louisiana (828,000 sq. mi.) to President Thomas Jefferson for $15 million dollars. This land acquisition more than doubled the size of the United States. *The Louisiana Purchase.

United States Territory—1840 By 1850, the US had acquired much of the land that makes up the US today.

Cotton Gin  Eli Whitney invented the CG  in 1793 Before the Cotton Gin, tobacco was an important crop, but it was destroying the soil. BCG < 1 lb/day ACG > 50 lbs/day The Cotton Gin INCREASED the need for slaves, because farmers could now plant more cotton, making a larger profit. This led to a westward expansion in the state and an increase in population, and removal of Native Americans.

COTTON GIN - IMPACT Plant More Buy more Need for Pick Land SlavesMore Sell More

Canals & Steamboats  Canals were constructed throughout the eastern United States in order to connect rivers and lakes to transport goods.  The Erie Canal connected Lake Erie to the Hudson River in New York.  Up until the 1820s, GA relied on rivers to transport goods long distances.  Canals were planned as an attempt to connect rivers in GA, but ultimately failed.

Railroads  The state of Georgia decided that railroads would better assist with transportation.  Railroads would be a big part of Georgia’s future.  Georgia's rail history began in the 1830s as America was just beginning to build a network of tracks.  By 1850 Georgia had the most rail miles of any southern state.  During the Civil War, Georgia’s many rail systems made the transportation of goods easy, making Atlanta the 2 nd most important city in the Confederacy.  More than a century and a half later, it continues to be a railroad leader. Did you know? Atlanta was originally named Terminus because several rail lines ended or terminated there? The city was renamed Atlanta after the Western & Atlantic railroad.
