Journal Entry Eleven: The Market Revolution, What I learn about the American system of manufactures. I learned that it was the mass production of interchangeable parts which would help to rapidly build and standardized product used in everyday life. That the revolution helped changed the concept of time and clocks became part of daily life with work and leisure time came to be clearly defined. That during this time frame textile mills relied largely of female and child labor. That 4 million people immigrated to the United States with 90 percent of that number landing in the northern states.…
The Market Revolution, canals, the Lowell Mills, the Cotton Kingdom, and the railroads all relate to the historical theme of America in the World. To begin with, the Market Revolution was a period in the late 18th and early 19th century when innovations in transportation, communication, and production expanded American commerce. The Market Revolution was ignited when Thomas Jefferson passed the Embargo Act of 1807. The Embargo Act of 1807 was a law forbidding all exportation of goods from the United States because Great Britain and France were seizing American ships during the Napoleonic Wars and Thomas Jefferson hoped this would put an end to the seizing of American ships. However, the Embargo Act of 1807 ended up hurting the economy of the…
In the first half of the nineteenth century, economic changes called by historians “the market revolution” transformed the United States. Innovations in transportation and communication sparked these changes. In the colonial era, technology had barely advanced—ships did not become faster, no canals were built, and manufacturing was done by hand. Roads were scarce and slow. In 1800, most farm families were not tied to the marketplace, used little cash, and produced much of what they needed at home.…
1. Why did the United States experience a market revolution after 1815? Answer: A market revolution was built on traditional sources of power in the 1815. Human, animal, water, etc. would be sold and because of this it gain the pace and scope of economic activity.…
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain during the 1760’s where machines were built to create products from the vast resources. Due to Great Britain having an agricultural empire, they had access to more crops. Effects were labor, wealth, and pollution. Although the Industrial Revolution led to progression in global technology, it also caused a demand of labor and money, leading to abusive working conditions meaning that ultimately, it was a period of depression and struggle. Construction of cotton factories gave workers jobs, but the working conditions of the factories were not very favorable.…
The market revolution, in part, occurred due to and for the industrial economy of the northwest. The market revolution worked out the logistics of the growing network of corporations and factories. Because the southern economy was agriculturally based, there was no market directly from the farms to consumers that needed reform. While the market revolution did not benefit every American at the time it was happening, the long term the effects of the market revolution were necessary in order to have the economic system America has…
The south struggled for years to survive. When the time came, they found their salvation and there was no turning back. Before the cotton gin, the South “relied on imported manufactured goods” (Griffin, PP7, 10/14/15) from the North. When the Tariff of 1828 took place, the south paid more in taxes than the North did. The South felt as if the North was purposely trying to keep them from advancing and producing their own product.…
As I said earlier... The War of 1812 caused the United States to become dependent on itself. Because we couldn't trade with Europe anymore, we had to manufacture our own goods, and the Northern states ended up becoming major centers of industry. That was where this all began. Then a couple other things happened at the time that really caused the market revolution to take off.…
During the time of the industrial revolution, many factories were built and they created job opportunities which led to the result of millions of immigrants entering our country to work in the factories.

The success of the Erie Canal helped to pour millions into transportation networks that encouraged economic growth. The market revolution brought greater opportunities to some artisans, entrepreneurs, and farmers. Manufacturers and farmers adopted this new method of the Market Revolution, which accumulated wealth.…
This problem took away some of the significance of some of the amazing technologies created at the time. While the actions of the Market Revolution were attempts to create a powerful and united country, controversial topics ended up causing a divide within the country at the time. A major issue that created unrest during the Market Revolution was the topic of slavery. By dividing the…
The sectional divide between the North and South continued to grow dramatically in the years preceding the Civil War. Before the war, the North had continued to become more industrialized than the South. Northerners began to want ready-made shoes and clothing and that stemmed from the creation of factories during the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution came about in the 1820s when factories and clothing mills were created in New England and the use of factories grew from there. The divide between the North and South was evident when the industrialization of the North was compared to the very unindustrialized South.…
During the Market Revolution the telegraph was invented. This machine would allow messages to be sent in forms of dots and dashes quickly over long distances, and would cause America to become more connected and increase industrial output. The production of goods would shift during the Market…
During the eighteenth century, the Industrial Revolution changed totally the agricultural sector, which maintained many families and groups to financial attempts. Many of the new devices rose to increment and encourage the trim creation of economy. The agriculturists grew larger portions thus got more yields and a greater amount of them. Surpluses transported all through the nation and crosswise over global outskirts. Industry thrived under the Revolution as flourishing expanded the interest for customer products.…
The religious elements during the time period 1815-1848 played an important role in the efforts made by slaves. Southern churches made great efforts to convert slaves to Christianity, but rather than accept their master’s vision of Christianity, such as reminding them of passages in the Bible that demanded slaves to obey their masters, they often adapted it to suit their needs as slaves (Keene, 284). African Americans often practiced their faith in “hush arbors” that they created, in which the story of Exodus was an especially popular book of the Bible to study. The Bible book, Exodus, was a story told in which God directed the prophet Moses to deliver the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage, and the African Americans had faith that God was…
