More crops produced by less workers, farmers moved west or went to work in factories
companies developed, news could travel in minutes, merchants and farmers had access to information on supplies and prices
made transportation easier and quicker, early American railroads were often unsafe (set off sparks), clipper ships increased sea trade with the world, made canal use less necessary
factories could be built anywhere, produce more goods at lower costs, people bought more factory-made products, New England farmers became obsolete and they started getting new jobs

12. Today’s Activity
Each row will work together to choose what they feel is the most revolutionary invention out of what we’ve discussed. Role play different points of view to defend your choices.
Each row should agree upon the invention and each student per row should contribute one reason for their choice.
We will come together to share our ideas.
