1 History 102 Unit Two: Industrialization and Its Discontents Chapters 18, 19, 20 and 21 KEY QUESTIONS: What are the 5 factors of industrialization that led to the rise of big business during this period? How did workers, farmers and the urban middle class respond to the transformation of the American economy into industrial capitalism from the 1860s to 1920?
2 I. Rise of Industrialization Compare 1865 and 1910 to see enormity of change 1865 Exports are mainly agricultural or raw materials Imports majority of manufactured goods from Europe, paid for with California gold Over 70% of population lives in rural areas, and are self-employed 1910 United States exports are mainly manufactured goods, not agricultural products Majority of the population lives in cities Majority of population works for someone else
3 A. Factors of Industrialization Factor #1: Technological Changes/Inventions Mass production of goods Deskilled labor force Examples Corliss engine Improvements in Power Looms Sewing Machine and Improvements Bessemer Air Process Electricity Assembly line
4 Factor #2 Development of Infrastructure Definition Connect nation together, both PHYSICALLY and SOCIALLY Examples 1. Canals, roads, railroads (move people and goods) 2. Telegraph, telephone (communication) 3. Urbanization (living together in large communities)
5 Transportation: Railroad Lines Railroad Lines, 1870
6 Red Lines Plus Blue Lines = 1890 Rails
7 Urbanization has
8 Factor #3: Business Innovations or New Ideas New Idea #1: The Corporation Definition A company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law; a fictional person
9 New idea #1: The corporation described Charter Rules of corporation # shares issued cost of shares Board of Directors Elected by shareholders Run the company Hire management Management separate from shareholders guided by board of directors Shareholders Own stock in the company Voting rights based on investment Earn dividends based on investment May sell shares to others
10 Impact of the Corporation Industrialist has access to shareholder wealth - maintains control Access to capital = growth Stock market - liquidity of wealth By 1900s - boards of directors rule
11 New idea #2: Organizing the corporation for maximum profit Vertical Integration - Carnegie s Model Iron Ore in Michigan Coal from West Virginia Railroads to Get Materials to Steel Mills Shipping Lines to Move Steel to Customers
12 Horizontal Integration: Standard Oil Oil refinery + Oil refinery + Oil refinery Methods to achieve merger: Standardize the product Price wars Threats against competitors
13 New idea #3 - ideologies (ways of thinking) to justify wealth Social Darwinism biological basis for economic classes in society Survival of the fitter = wealthy are more fit than workers Carnegie and Gospel of Wealth Philanthropy
14 Factor #4: People These are the workers in the factories and consumers of goods

16 2. American born go to the city (internal migration) Become middle class society Consumers of goods Advertising to the middle class
17 Factor #5 - Government s Role Act to support big business: 1. Taxpayer money to support growth of railroads 2. Corrupt government influenced by enormous wealth No regulation of safety conditions *Regulatory boards don t enforce the law 3.

40 Ida Tarbell, History of Standard Oil 19 installments from Nellie Bly, NY World reporter sweatshops, insane asylums, corruption in politics Frank Norris The Octopus, 1901 Upton Sinclair The Jungle, 1906
