America Industrial Revolution
Economical
Negative
The effect on economics after the American revolution is short of money and with diminished incomes, American consumers pulled back on spending, prompting waves of bankruptcies.
Positive
The unprecedented levels of production in domestic manufacturing and commercial agriculture during this period greatly strengthened the American economy and reduce dependence on imports.
the use of new basic materials, chiefly iron and steel, the use of new energy sources, including both fuels and motive power, such as coal, the steam engine, electricity, petroleum, and the internal-combustion engine.
The American Industrial Revolution commonly referred to as the Second Industrial Revolution, started sometime between 1820 and 1870
The American revolution also called United state war of independence started in 1775 ended in 1783.
Environmental
Negative
The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels.
The world saw a major increase in population, which, along with an increase in living standards, led to the depletion of natural resources. The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels.
Industries are a major cause of air pollution as they emit gases and chemicals that cause a degradation in the quality of the air.
Political
Positive
The political implications of the American Industrial Revolution included the rise of the United States as a global economic power, the clash between traditional culture and modern progress, and the passage of labor-related legislation.
Negative
The American industrial revolution caused a rise in unskilled labor. Prior to the 19th century
The act was the result of the Napoleonic Wars between France and England and was intended to cut both England and France off from the American market.
Social
Positive
The revolution opened new market and trade relationship.
Increased participation in politics and governance, the legal institutionalization of religious toleration, and the growth and diffusion of the population
The industrial revolution caused urbanization in America, with people moving from the countryside to the city.
Negative
Poor working conditions, poor living conditions, low wages, child labor, and pollution.
Children were ideal employees because they could be paid less, were often of smaller stature so could attend to more minute tasks and were less likely to organize and strike against their pitiable working conditions.
poverty, homelessness, crime, poor working conditions and disease.
Technology
Positive
Thomas Edison, who made a number of discoveries and innovations during the 1800s, contributed to the communications revolution by inventing the phonograph in 1876.
Morse’s invention of the telegraph, and Elias Howe’s invention of the sewing machine, all before the Civil War.
His invention helped the mass production of sewing machines and clothing.
That in turn revolutionized the sewing industry and freed women from some of the drudgery of daily life at the time.
Modern American Industrial revolution
Economical
technological changes introduced novel ways of working and living and fundamentally transformed society.
greatly strengthened the American economy and reduced dependence on import
Cotton Gin
Impact
Environmental
produced co2 because there are lots of factories, polluted the evironment.
Economical
Greatly increased the productivity of cotton and economy growth, Annual business revenue stimulated by cotton in the U.S. economy exceeds $120 billion!
Greatly increased the productivity of cotton and economy growth, Annual business revenue stimulated by cotton in the U.S. economy exceeds $120 billion!
Social
Child labour, but hopefully Systemic forced labour and child labour has come to an end in cotton.
Political
negative
Slavery increased in America because labour power is needed to plant cotton
Slavery leads to the civil war, which started at 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861
Use
Eli Whitney's most famous invention was the cotton gin, which enabled the rapid separation of seeds from cotton fibres. Built in 1793, the machine helped make cotton a profitable export crop in the southern United States and further promoted the use of slavery for cotton cultivation.
Earth reasources
Coal
Impact
Environmental
negative
Coal and fuel oil combustion emit fly ash particles into the atmosphere, which contribute to air pollution problems.
Economic
Positive
coal spurred technological innovations in mine technology, energy consumption, and transportation.
Political
Positive
essential raw material for iron and steel production, and the outfits worn in armies are made of iron and steel
Social
negative
jobs lost by fishermen downstream of a coal mine, to the health care costs of the people sickened by coal-fired power plant pollution, to the cost of cleaning up spills of toxic coal waste.
Use
coal provided a cheap and efficient source of power for steam engines, furnaces, and forges across the United States
Coal became the largest source of energy in the 1880s, when it overtook wood, and remained the largest source until the early 1950s, when coal was exceeded by petroleum.
Iron
Image result for iron in america industrial revolution
Iron was needed to make the railway tracks, steam locomotives and the giant Watt steam engines that pumped the mines and provided energy to run factory machinery.
Impacts
economical
Positive
Each iron ore mining job, which includes good pay, health and retirement benefits, generates an additional 1.8 jobs in other industries.
The study estimates that the induced impact of the industry is $143 billion, and generates 878,000 jobs paying $45 billion in wages and benefits. The American iron and steel industry also contributes to the public finances of the nation.
social
Negative
Left untreated, iron deficiency can have devastating impacts on the livelihoods and health of women and children.
political
Positive
Iron was needed to make the railway tracks, steam locomotives and the giant Watt steam engines that pumped the mines and provided energy to run factory machinery.
use (modern)
90% of all metal that is refined today is iron. Most is used to manufacture steel, used in civil engineering
The first person to explain the various types of iron was René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur who wrote a book on the subject in 1722. This explained how steel, wrought iron, and cast iron, were to be distinguished by the amount of charcoal (carbon) they contained.
Copper
Copper metal does occur naturally, but by far the greatest source is in minerals such as chalcopyrite and bornite.
use
Copper and Bronze were also used for things such as helmets, shields, spears and swords.
impact
Political
positive
Copper metal does occur naturally, but by far the greatest source is in minerals such as chalcopyrite and bornite.
Economical
positive
generating job growth and providing significant contributions to local economies and the nation overall.
Environmental
positive
Copper can interrupt the activity in soil, as it negatively influences the activity of microorganisms and earthworms. This means that it is sustainable.
Gold
The influx of gold resulted in the expansion of manufacturing and the service industries, as many entrepreneurial newcomers took advantage of the demand for mining materials, and transportation.
impact
environmental
positive
During the U.S. gold rush, hydraulic mining operations in California completely denuded forested landscapes, increased sedimentation that clogged river beds and lakes and released enormous amounts of mercury onto the landscape.
econimical
positve
It created a lasting impact by propelling significant industrial and agricultural development and helped shape the course of California's development by spurring its economic growth and facilitating its transition to statehood.
social
positive
The gold rush helped increase the population, which helped bring social, cultural development and democratic government.
political
positive
The Gold Rush significantly influenced the history of California and the United States. It created a lasting impact by propelling significant industrial and agricultural development and helped shape the course of California's development by spurring its economic growth and facilitating its transition to statehood.
use
Wealth protection and a financial exchange.
Textile
Image result for industrial revolution Textile
Textile mills produced cotton, woolens, and other types of fabrics
Transportation
steam boat
Economical: With the high demand in goods and fuel for these boats. Along came thousands of jobs in the coal mines and in the factories.
The steamboat also led to thousands of new settlement across America's rivers, including the huge boom of Indiana's Ohio River Cities.
rail road
The railroad became a way for companies to ship to each other from across the country, transport raw materials to factories, and send final products to consumers. (related to economy)
