Study Notes
Industrial Revolution and Its Consequences
- The Industrial Revolution shifted production from handcrafted goods to machine-made goods.
- Interchangeable parts were produced by machines, which allowed for mass production of industrial goods.
- Unskilled labor, using water power, assembled these parts into finished products.
- This system is known as the American System of Manufacturing.
Market Revolution
- The Market Revolution linked northern industries with western and southern farms.
- Advancements in agriculture, industry, communication, and transportation facilitated this link.
- Canals, steamboats, railroads, and the telegraph connected different regions.
- This facilitated the sale of goods and linked farmers to national and global markets.
- By 1860, there were over 30,000 miles of railroad tracks in the US, primarily in the North.
Supreme Court Case
- In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the Supreme Court ruled that federal laws on interstate commerce supersede state laws.
Northern Manufacturing Cities
- Northern manufacturing cities grew rapidly, with large influxes of German and Scotch-Irish immigrants.
- These immigrants provided a source of cheap labor for factories.
- A growing class of laboring poor emerged.
Industrial Capitalists
- New factory owners and industrial capitalists emerged.
- Their wealth increased the size and strength of the middle class, which often clashed with the interests of the working class.
- This clash stemmed from differing perspectives on the demands of modern industry.
Sexual Division of Labor
- The Cult of Domesticity emerged, defining a woman's role as primarily focused on homemaking and childcare.
- Separate spheres of work were seen for men and women. Husbands worked outside the home, while women managed the duties at home.
