Analyzing Flow Charts
INDUSTRIALIZATION
• Resulted from abundant natural resources, improved technologies, and expanding rail lines.
BIG BUSINESS
• Wealthy businessmen prospered at the expense of their labor force.
• Poor working conditions.
DEVELOPMENT of LABOR UNIONS
• Fought to improve working conditions - higher wages, shorter hours, safety regulations
INDUSTRIALIZATION
• Sparked a need for workers to fill job opportunities.
INFLUX in IMMIGRATION to the United States
• Hopeful Americans and optimistic Eastern European, Asian, and Mexican immigrants seek employment.
RAPID URBANIZATION
• Growth of cities results in poor living and working conditions for many families.
REFORM MOVEMENTS
• Reformers challenge government to regulate big business and improve the lifestyles of US citizens.
THE NEW URBAN CULTURE!
Why Industry Boomed
IDEAL CONDITIONS
• Access to vast amounts of NATURAL RESOURCES– Coal - Copper– Iron - Lumber– Lead
• New Technologies• Favorable government
policies– Land Grants– Subsidies– High Protective Tariffs on
imported goods

Cost Effective, Mass Production of the Car!
HOMEWORK CHECK!!Chapter 18 Section 1
• What did the country have that allowed for growth in industry?– An abundance of natural resources– Favorable government policies such as land
grants and subsidies ($, benefits) to RRs– High tariffs on imported goods (encouraged
consumers to buy American made goods)– New innovative technology
HOMEWORK CHECK!!!Chapter 18 Section 1
• Explain how the Bessemer Process created a steel boom.– The Bessemer Process created stronger steel
(from iron ore) at a lower cost. – Steel could now be mass-produced quickly and
cheaply.– As prices dropped, production output increased– The backbone of RRs, shipping, and cities– Steel = ANDREW CARNEGIE
HOMEWORK CHECK!!!Chapter 18 Section 1
• Explain why oil became a valuable natural resource.– Refined oil was used as machinery lubricants,
kerosene (burns but does not explode), and eventually gasoline.
– Oil = ROCKEFELLER
HOMEWORK CHECK!!!Chapter 18 Section 1
• What is a “network” and how did railroad owners seek to eliminate competition?– A network is a series of rail lines connected
together– RR networks began to link Eastern and Western
cities to one another– To eliminate competition, RRs consolidated
(combined) small lines, offered rebates (discounts), and fixed rates
– Think TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD
HOMEWORK CHECK!!!Chapter 18 Section 1
Edison’s Invention Factory• Electric light bulb• Phonograph• Motion picture camera• Edison opens 1st electric
power plant in NYC
Communications• Alexander G. Bell’s
telephone revolutionized business.
• Created the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
HOMEWORK CHECK!!!Chapter 18 Section 1
The Home and Office• Typewriter invented by C.
Shoales made office work faster and cheaper.
• Lightweight camera invented by G. Eastman allows ordinary people to record their lives on film.
Transportation• Henry Ford introduces the
use of the assembly line to mass produce the automobile– Faster production at a lower
cost made the product available to millions!
• The Wright Bros. invent the 1st gas powered airplane
HOMEWORK CHECK!!!Chapter 18 Section 1
• Explain how American life changed as a result of these inventions.– More convenient, close connections between distant people
and places, able to respond to another’s needs at a faster rate
• Why would you want a government patent for your invention?– It gives the inventor the sole right to make and sell an invention
• Explain why mass production and the assembly line revolutionized transportation.– Producing numerous cars at one time was cheaper and faster. It
made the car available to a large number of people because it was now more affordable.
So What Exactly is a Patent?
• A property right granted by the government to an inventor for a NEW, USEFUL, and NON-OBVIOUS invention.
• Allows inventors to prevent others from MAKING, USING, or SELLING their inventions without permission for a LIMITED TIME, in exchange for sharing the details and instructions of their inventions with the public.
So What Exactly is a Patent?
• It’s a way to PROTECT YOUR IDEAS!! (intellectual property)
• An invention must be NOVEL, USEFUL, and NON-OBVIOUS to be granted a PATENT in the US (by the US Patent & Trademark Office)– Novel: the invention is different from all other inventions– Useful: the invention works and has a purpose– Non-Obvious: invention is different enough from all other
inventions that it would take more than common sense to combine ideas to make that invention
So What Exactly is a Patent?
• Turing ideas into inventions has helped humans to survive and our world to evolve!
• In your groups discuss the following:– Why do people invent?– Why are patents important?– Can you think of any reasons why someone
might not want to get a patent?
Think About It…
• What conditions spurred the growth of industry?
• What inventions changed American society?
BIG BUSINESS• What do these two images have in common?

Business Expansion & Organization
• The “brains” behind a business is the ENTREPRENEUR– Risk-taker, money-maker – Capital =$$$

the amount of money they invested• Banks thrived by lending corporations huge amounts
of capital (loans)– J.P. Morgan (railroad and steel industry tycoon)
Business Expansion & Organization
• How did the government’s approach to business impact it’s expansion at the turn of the 20th century?
Business OrganizationMONOPOLY• Company that controls most
or all businesses in a particular industry
TRUST
• Group of corporations run by a single board of directors

THE NEED FOR ????
The Labor Movement
• In response to shifts in working conditions, laborers organized and employed a variety of strategies in an attempt to improve their conditions.
• Labor Unions – organized groups of workers uniting together for the purpose of better working conditions
• GOALS– Safer working conditions– Higher wages– Shorter hours
Early Labor Unions
KNIGHTS of LABOR• Led by Terrence Powderly• Admitted women, African
Americans, immigrants, and unskilled workers
• Public rallies used to gain public support
• Involvement with violent labor disputes caused the public to distrust unions
AMERICAN FEDERATION of LABOR
• Led by Samuel Gompers• Became the leading union
in the country• Admitted only skilled
workers– Costly to train replacements
• Collective bargaining used to gain public support– Negotiating with
management
Labor Union Tactics
• Strikes• Rallies• Collective Bargaining – unions NEGOTIATE
with management for workers as a group
• Which method do you think would be the most effective and why?

“Innovations Bellringer” – Name that Invention!• Use the following clues to help you figure out what many consider to be some of the most
important inventions in history!
– The “Old School” internet/mass production/ helped spread new & controversial ideas
– “Old School” GPS/ navigation before Google Maps existed!– No longer had to pay in gold & silver / important to the birth of
credit cards and electronic banking– I’m responsible for the construction of modern cities, cars, railroads,
bridges, and so much more!– Thanks to me, night could turn into day!– My series of dots and dashes helped pave the way for worldwide
communication and even sparked the idea of the telephone!– Thanks to my discovery and love of mold I saved the lives of
thousands of soldiers during WWII!– My basic principle of energy-into-motion set the stage for later
innovations like the internal combustion engine and jet turbine.
