How did Industrialization happen PWPT

Slide 1: 

Industrialization

Slide 2: 

Agriculture is replaced by industry following Civil War Machines, factories, mines, & railroads Industrialization

Slide 3: 

New technology and inventions Lots of natural resources Railroads, railroads everywhere! Why did Industrialization happen?

Slide 4: 

Technology & Inventions Cash register (1883) Type-writer (1868) 1.

Slide 5: 

The inventor Thomas Alva Edison (in the USA) experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over 1500 hours.

Slide 6: 

Thomas Edison invented many items at His laboratory Light bulb Phonograph Printing telegraph stock ticker many others…

Transatlantic Telegraph Line : 

Transatlantic Telegraph Line S.S. Great Eastern laying the first trans-Atlantic cable, July 1866.The world’s largest steamship, the Great Eastern, laid the first transatlantic telegraph cable from Valencia, Ireland, arriving at Trinity Bay, Newfoundland in July 1866 as shown in this print. The transatlantic cable had revolutionary effects on communications. Message went from taking >10 days to only a few minutes Well Captain, if I were to guesstimate, I’d say we have about 800 miles of cable left…

Slide 12: 

And of course: TOILET PAPER ON A ROLL! *USA…1857 - New Yorker Joseph C. Gayetty produced the first packaged bathroom tissue in the United States in 1857. The Gayetty Firm from New Jersey produced the first toilet paper named "The Therapeutic Paper". It contained an abundance of aloe, a curative addition. The company sold it in packs of 500 sheets for fifty cents, and Joseph Gayetty had his name printed on each sheet! *USA…1890 - The Scott Paper Company is the first company to manufacture tissue on a roll, specifically for the use of toilet paper. Faced with the consumers' resistance toward the "unmentionable" product, Scott came up with the idea of customizing rolls for every merchant-customer they had. Under this private-label arrangement, Scott purchased large "jumbo" rolls of paper from various paper mills and converted them into packages of small rolls and stacked sheets.

Natural Resources! : 

Natural Resources! Americans are incredibly lucky because of all of the raw materials that are laying right under our noses 2.

Slide 14: 

Lumber from forests all over eastern U.S. and Pacific Northwest What was lumberneeded for?

Slide 15: 

Heavy Industry needed: - Iron ore - Coal (fuel for steam-powered machines)

More natural resources… : 

More natural resources… Lead (used for what?) Copper Oil !!! Titusville, PA 1863

Slide 17: 

The Railroad 3.

And NO . . . not this kind of railroad : 

And NO . . . not this kind of railroad ? Alec Baldwin

Railroads : 

Railroads After Civil War, construction of railroads did the following: 1) accelerated the nation’s industrialization 2) linked the country together

Think waaaaaay back… : 

Think waaaaaay back… During the CIVIL WAR 1861-1865, the railroads benefited the North and helped them win the war The North had more railroads, which would help them how? The existing railroads in the South often didn’t even fit together ! Whoops!

Slide 21: 

Pacific Railway Act (1862) – signed by President Lincoln. Provided for the construction of a transcontinental railroad by Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad companies Both companies were given chunks of land along the way But after Civil War... The Railroad boom began. How you ask? Hey you, go build some railroads-- NOW!

Slide 22: 

So here's the plan guys Central Pacific Union Pacific

Slide 23: 

Connecting East and West “At one time we were using at least 10,000 animals, and most of the time from eight to ten thousand laborers….To supply one mile of track with material and supplies required about forty cars….Everything—rails, ties, bridging, fastenings, all railway supplies, fuel for locomotives and trains, and supplies for men and animals on the entire work—had to be transported from the Missouri River.” -The Growth of the American Republic

Slide 24: 

Thousands of Chinese workers were killed while constructing Central Pacific line “But dad, you didn’t say I had to go straight home!!” (companies were paid per mile, so going in a straight line would mean less money!) Problems

Benefits of nation-wide railroad : 

Benefits of nation-wide railroad opened up new markets for eastern factories Allowed raw materials from West to be shipped to factories in the East promoted settlement in the west And if you’re Cornelius Vanderbilt, a benefit is making Gagillions of dollars from the railroad!

Slide 27: 

Cornelius Vanderbilt Built a fortune by buying up a bunch of smaller rail lines and making one huge mega-super-great-big railroad company. 1st to offer direct rail service between NYC and Chicago Built New York’s Grand Central terminal Helloooo ? Where am I ?? Gee…I wish my house wasn’t so darn big and mansion-like.

Benefits of nation-wide railroad : 

Benefits of nation-wide railroad opened up new markets for eastern factories promoted settlement in the west And if you’re Cornelius Vanderbilt, a benefit is making Gagillions of dollars from the railroad! Time Zones were created

Slide 32: 

Refrigerated cars = advanced the cattle industry (Gustavus Swift) MOO! Ice blocks stored towards top of cars, and meat packed on the bottom. Cold air naturally fell to the bottom and kept the meat cooled.

Slide 33: 

The bottom line is lots of goods (materials and finished products) were being transported across the country like never before! Now fill in the questions at the bottom of your paper.
