U.S. Industrialization
• After the Civil War the nation concentrated on expanding its power through Industrializing.
• There are many factors that contributed to our growth:
• Technological advances in transportation, communication, and ways of doing business led to enormous growth in wealth and power for some, but many problems arose as well.
![Page 2: U.S. Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816630550346895dd998ea/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• White settlement of western lands led to devastated Native American cultures.
• Politicians and Big Business Leaders took advantage of immigrant and American workers
• Cities and Factories would become the new homes for immigrants and Americans looking for a better way of life
• Others would choose to go west and settle land given to them by the government

The West and Railroads
• The Homestead Act -gave 160 acres of land to people who were willing to stay and develop it for 5 years.
• These 2million Homesteaders created a demand for goods.
• These goods needed to be transported creating a demand for Railroads.
• Companies were encouraged to build RR’s by the gov’t with free land on either side of the tracks. Which they would later sell $$$$$$.

The West and Railroads• The Bessemer Process made steel quicker
and cheaper allowing for more tracks.• By 1869 the Transcontinental Railroad was
completed allowing Americans to travel from coast to coast.
• Mostly Irish, Chinese, and former slaves built these railroads.
• Towns began to emerge at railway stops.

Urbanization
Jobs created by industrialization led to a rapid growth of cities.
Immigrants and poor Americans lived in multifamily houses known as Tenements.
They were crowded, poorly ventilated and dirty, usually w/ one bathroom per floor.
Streets were dirty, sanitation was almost non-existent, the rivers were used as sewers, disease spread, poor conditions led to the forming of gangs.

Problems Within Cities• Illiteracy and Unsanitary Conditions• With problems came changes– James Adams and Hull House– John Dewey and public education– Salvation Army and the Red Cross– Subways, ELs, street cars– Gas and electric lights– Department stores– Newspapers– New entertainment (arts and sports)
