American_Industry

Many factors led to America having a tremendous rise in industry. The five points

that made the most impact were technology, mass distribution and production, education,

railroads, management ideas and structure, and immigrant labor. These five points not

only improved the existing industry, but they revolutionized how the American industry

would be run for the next generation. As with any change in an existing system, there

were a few problems, the main problems where with workers so management just replaced

them with machines. Many people weren’t ready to make the adjustment from small town

farming to big city living but the benefits far out-weighed any unusual situations, so the

people and the nation when along with it.

In the 1850’s and on, most Americans were wondering about the benefit of a

society dominated by cities, factories, and masses of wage earners. Along with cities and

factories, pollution, and unhygienic situations was rising as well. Industrializing of the

nation was wanted by many people but on the other hand, many people did not want to

see the nation industrialize. The United States, at this point, mostly an agricultural society,

. . .
To speed up production, they needed to lower the cost of

all shipped items. Also, manufacturers often

found that distribution systems need to be revamped. All conflicts were overcome, as America became the world’s

leading industrial power. The number of managers grew, as

elaborate corporate hierarchies deformed both the tasks and status of individual managers. This called for millions of

jobs in coal and iron-ore mining, oil refinery, steel making, rubber manufacturing, machine

tooling, and service stations.

Two major inventions during this period were the invention of the gasoline-powered,

internal combustion engine and harnessing of electric power. They were loyal to their employers, but were at odds

with both the blue-color workers, and with the older middle class of shopkeepers. Duke was the father of advertisers of early industry. e people lived on farms or in small towns, and had lots of open space to

live in. Immigrants built the

nation’s tunnels and railroads , mined iron ore, coal and other minerals. Also

small businessmen, an independent craftsmen were not too happy with the idea of this

also. Harnessing electrical power

opened many doors for technological advancements. Millions of people bought

the Model-T, and that in turn called for millions of pounds of steel ,glass, rubber,

petroleum, and other materials viable materials to be produced. With all of this happening, there was a growing need to ship goods, which in turn

led to a major need for the railroads.

Metal-working went right hand in hand with electric generators and related equipment.
