Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Industrial Revolution in America began in the mid-eighteenth century when small-scale manufacturing underwent a radical transformation with the development of new technology that used waterpower to generate energy that moved machines.
#2 The Industrial Revolution, which took place from about 1760 to about 1830, was the second technological advancement that allowed for the mass production of cotton. This revolution required the cotton gin, which could separate cotton seeds from the boll where they grew faster than human hands could.
#3 The industrial age began in the United States with the factory system and cotton gin, and was advanced by new technology. The Erie Canal connected the Great Lakes to the Hudson River, and helped cement the Great Lakes region as a center of American industrialization.
#4 The Erie Canal and the railroad were two of the most dangerous jobs in America during the early 1800s. The death toll of these jobs was so high that it created a culture of indifference towards safety, both from workers and bosses.
