  3. Technology and Industrial Growth Sec 1: Technology and Industrial Growth Encouraging Industrial Growth Main Idea:The Civil War challenged industries to make products more quickly and efficiently than they had been made before. Factories stepped up production, the food industry transformed itself, and railroads expanded. Meanwhile, the government encouraged immigration to meet the increasing demand for labor in the nation’s factories. Innovation Drives the Nation Main Idea:By the late 1800s, the drive for innovation and efficiency seemed to touch every sphere of life in the United States. The number of patents grew exponentially during this time and businessmen invested heavily in these new innovations. The Impact of Industrialization Main Idea: Industrialization touched every aspect of American life, from the way businesses and farms operated to the kinds of products used by average Americans.

  7. The Rise of Big Business Sec 2: The Rise of Big Business Fighting for Profits Main Idea:Until the mid-nineteenth century, most businesses were run by one person or family and were local. Industrialization and railroads changed all this. Debating the Role of Big Business Main Idea:Throughout the 1880s, business mergers created powerful empires for those who invested in steel, railroads, meat, farm equipment, sugar, lumber, and a number of other enterprises. However, while business leaders grew wealthy, many smaller companies and consumers began to question their goals and tactics. The Government Imposes Regulations Main Idea:The great industrialists’ methods and their stranglehold on the nation’s economy worried some Americans, and in 1887, the United States Senate created the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to oversee railroad operations.

The Organized Labor Movement Sec 3: The Organized Labor Movement Workers Endure Hardships Main Idea:The industrial expansion in the United States made the American economy grow by leaps and bounds. However, the people who actually performed the work in factories and industries struggled to survive. Labor Unions Form Main Idea:Industrialization lowered the prices of consumer goods, but in the late 1800s most factory workers still did not earn enough to buy them. Increasingly, workers took their complaints directly and forcefully to their employers, often through organized unions. Strikes Rock the Nation Main Idea:As membership in labor unions rose and labor activists became more skilled in organizing large-scale protests, a wave of bitter confrontations between labor and management hit the nation.
