Lead to War • During the mid 1800’s the effectiveness of political compromise in reducing sectional tensions was mostly ineffective because there was discontent with finding a balance between the admittance of states as free or slave, as well as, what jurisdiction should fall under state powers versus federal powers; however, some compromises were initially effective in maintaining the balance and holding off secession for the short term. INTIALLY EFFECTIVE Missouri Compromise ended in a happy resolution for a short period of time.

Analyze the impact of technological innovations on the lives of two of the following groups. 1865 -1920 ~Factory workers ~Midwestern farmers • Thesis: In the time period from 1865 to 1920, the technological changes that transformed the lives of factory workers and midwestern farmers were mainly in social and economic spheres. In both aspects, the identity of the common man as a factory worker or farmer was based not on skill but on the service that they could provide as a whole to a larger corporation. The farmer’s isolation created the drive to create new technologies that connected the nation. The workers were impacted with technologies that made them more aware of self health and their well being was increased.

Factory Workers Economics: -Mass production means skill and craftsmanship less import -Carnegie steel and Bessemer Process -Assembly Line leads to monotonous dangerous work; wage system; slaves to clock -Taylorism Social: -Led to workers unionizing (NLU, Knights, AFL, Triangle Shirtwaist Fire) -Pasteurization -Mass entertainment to enjoy (baseball, amusement parks) Midwestern Farmers Economics: -Bound to national and international markets which helped but destroyed individuality -Allowed for Commercial Farming but led o overproduction and boom and bust cycles -Dry land Farming allow for farm in American desert -Received more bank loans but leads to debt Social: -Reduced tedious work (plow, tractors) -Mail-order houses can be apart of consumerism -Transcontinental Line connects to east -Telegraph connects to east

• Analyze the ways in which government policy and economic conditions changed American agriculture in the period 1865– 1900. • Between 1858 and 1900, the agricultural industry experienced political changes in land management by the government that raised prices and regulated land sales and economic changes with the introduction of new technology and equipment that influenced the growth of the commercial farming business. Farmers responded to the agricultural decline caused by political and economic transformations through increased involvement in the government and in politics in order to advocate for laws and rights that benefited the agriculture community.

Politics/ Economics • • Government unwillingness to intervene in pools and other monopolistic practices of the railroad companies Government gave best land to railroads with land grants Homestead act provides Americans with free land which encourages agricultural development Dawes Severalty Act – Opened up reservation land for white settlement which increased the amount of acreage for farming Subsidies and land grants encouraged railroad expansion – Cow towns emerged and hurt agriculture Timber Culture Act – 160 acres of land given to farmers who would plant trees on 40 of those acres Desert Land Act – 640 acres of land given to farmers who would begin irrigation • • • Railroad Companies – Made farmers angry – Increased transport prices – In debt to RR companies (storage rates) Boom and Bust (panic and prosperity) – Increased land option led to decrease in debt – Farmers who couldn’t pay debt moved back east – Panic of 1893 hurt farmers, led to poverty, hardship and widespread unemployment – Dependence on international markets drove wheat prices incredibly low – US currency was backed by gold, Commercial Farming – Overproduction because farmers were trying to produce a large profit – Made farmers rely on banks – Couldn’t manage their own prices

During the Progressive Era (1880 -1920), women took big roles in progressive era reforms as they created many different organizations to help a wide range of people, including immigrants, the poor and African Americans.
