Social Darwinism
• theory developed by philosopher Herbert Spencer from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution
• argued that society progresses through competition, with the fitting rising to positions of wealth and power

Social Darwinism II• the “fittest” individuals, businesses, or nations
should and would rise to positions of wealth and power
• the “unfit” would fail• social Darwinists believed that any attempts to
help the poor or less capable actually slowed social progress
• some religious leaders believed being one of the “fittest” was a sign of Christian virtue

Vertical Integration
When firms bought up everything from the production process. Anything from raw materials to transportation and distribution.

Concept
• Vertical Integration is still used to this day because it is more efficient and is cheap.
• Andrew Carnegie’s true success came from vertical integration because he realized that if he purchased supplies in bulk and producing goods in large quantities he could lower production costs and increase his profits.
• For example he purchased iron and coal mines, which were the raw materials necessary to run his steam mills. He also bought steamship lines and railroads to transport these materials.
• Because he controlled businesses at each stage of production he could sell steal at a much lower price then his competitors.

Connection
A distributing meat company had discovered that the leftover meat from the cows could make glue. So the owner opened up a glue company and this saved money, and made production more efficient.

THOMAS ALVA EDISON
A pioneer of communications technology; made telegraph that had the ability to send four messages at the same time

EXPLANATION
Edison was a very innovative man, especially with communication technology. He developed a newer telegraph model that had the ability to send four simultaneous messages. Later on, he even invented and patented a telegraphic stock ticker. Overall, Thomas Alva Edison made a crucial contribution to the Industrial Revolution.

TelegraphOne of the most
significant advances in communication in the
1800’s developed Samuel F.B Morse.
![Page 21: Social Darwinism theory developed by philosopher Herbert Spencer from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution argued that society progresses through competition,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b14d79/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Telegraph
This device made an impact on the way people communicated with others. Morse’s dot-and-dash code could send an operator a business order to go to a close destination in minutes. The telegraph would send information for businesses, the government, newspapers, and to private citizens. The leading telegraph company was Western Union, which had more than 2,000 telegraph offices. The railroad had increased along with the telegraph, a main reason was because telegraph companies were put in every train stations.

After the Bessemer process, there was a significant growth in railroad expansion. Railroads used to be used only for local transportation. Over a short period of time there was a great expansion and it made life easier. The first transcontinental railroad was finished in 1869. the union and central pacific railroads joined to make a single line from Nebraska to the Pacific Ocean.

Bessemer Process: Efficient method of making steal developed by British inventor Henry Bessemer and American inventor William Kelly
![Page 33: Social Darwinism theory developed by philosopher Herbert Spencer from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution argued that society progresses through competition,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b14d79/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In my mind the Bessemer process is a process of steelmaking that burned of the impurities in iron with hot air. The Bessemer process also could produce as much steel in a day than old ways used to produce in a week. This process definitely effected the steel industry and the industrial revolution.
![Page 35: Social Darwinism theory developed by philosopher Herbert Spencer from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution argued that society progresses through competition,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b14d79/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Bessemer process is the “besser” way to make steal.

Communism- political theory that proposes that all people should collectively own property and the means of production and that individual ownership should not be allowed
![Page 37: Social Darwinism theory developed by philosopher Herbert Spencer from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution argued that society progresses through competition,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b14d79/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Communism is a political way of thinking in which everyone is equal in every possible way. There’s no ‘private property’ and this concept would be called ‘common ownership’. In addition to this, there wouldn’t be any classes or states, resulting in a completely equal (or utopian, which was meant to be another result of communism) society.

Homestead Riot
In 1892 at Andrew Carnegie’s Homestead Steel Works in Homestead Pa, workers went on a strike to protest wage cuts. The managers responded by a lock out and hired 300 guards to protect the plant. A crash between the strikers and guards led to 16 deaths.

Homestead Riot
The workers were mad about wage cuts, so they went on a strike. The managers of the steel works had made a lock out and hired 300 guards to protect the steel works. Between the workers and guards there was violence, which happened to kill 16 people. This all happened in Homestead, Pennsylvania at Andrew Carnegie’s Homestead Steel Works. This is also called the Homestead Strike.

officers

ExplanationThe riot was a misunderstanding between the workers, and their employer Haymarket. Haymarket cut everyone’s wage down so much that they went on strike. The strikers were having a rally and police officers came to remove them, a bomb went off and killed seven officers. In retaliation the police arrested eight anarchists that could have conspired to do this. Only one of them was present at the time of the bombing.

This riot can be connected to today’s strikes. Big corporations of workers that refuse to work. Locally we had a strike in Neshaminy school district. The teachers refused to work until they got what they wanted. This is very similar to the Haymarket Riot, but without the violence.
