 Introduction

I ndustrialization is the widespread development of profit-

making businesses that manufacture products on a large
scale, using labor-saving machinery. Understanding the his-
tory of the development of industrialization in the United
States, which took place over two centuries, involves learning
about some of its technical elements, such as technology and
the economy. But the history of U.S. industrialism is also a
dramatic story of people rising and falling from power or
struggling desperately to make the world a better place.
Industrialization fueled the national culture, economy,
daily life, and politics, creating such tremendous social
changes that it is impossible to imagine what life in the
United States would be like without it.

Though the Industrial Revolution, a period of rapid indus-

trial growth causing a shift in focus from agriculture to industry,
first began in England and Europe in the middle of the eight-
eenth century, industrialization did not begin to take root in the
United States until after the American Revolution (1775–83).
Even then American industrialization had a slow start, due to
overwhelming obstacles. At the time, the vast majority of

ix
 Americans lived independent lives as farmers in remote areas.
For the most part, they had little connection with anyone but
neighboring farmers, since there were few good roads or systems
of communication. Most people did not even own clocks; time
was determined by the seasons and the rising and setting of the
sun. Few people worked for wages, and those manufactured
goods Americans could afford generally came from Europe.
The new nation had vast natural resources, such as land, timber,
metals, minerals, water power, and ports, but without transpor-
tation or manufacturing it was nearly impossible to make indus-
trial use of them.
Once begun, the American Industrial Revolution took on
its own character, differing from that of other countries. This
was primarily because Americans themselves had been
shaped and selected by a unique set of forces. After fighting
hard to gain independence from England, most Americans
were passionate about the ideals of liberty and equality for all
(although to many Americans at the time this meant only
white males), and they were determined to create a society in
which any individual could rise and prosper through his or
her own efforts. They were also driven by the desire for
wealth. Though many Europeans immigrated to America to
find religious or social freedom, the majority came seeking
riches. Many had faced bitter hardships and were prepared to
take major risks to obtain wealth. Another key trait of
Americans was a spirit of innovation; it had been a necessary
attribute for emigrants who left Europe in the seventeenth
century, for they would have to reinvent the most basic
aspects of their daily lives in the New World. The combined
spirit of individualism, greed, and innovation came to char-
acterize U.S. industrialism.
In the years between the American Revolution and the
American Civil War (1861–65), innovation and invention
were highly esteemed by the American public. Most industrial
designs and ideas came initially from Europe, but once they
reached the machine makers, or ‘‘mechanicians,’’ of American
shops, they were improved until they became distinctly
American, suited to the land and its people. The times pro-
duced an extremely talented group of inventors and innova-
tors, and from their workshops, which were mainly located in
the northeastern United States, the ‘‘American System,’’ or
mass production and the use of interchangeable parts,

x Development of the Industrial U.S.: Primary Sources

emerged. It would forever change the nature of manufacturing
worldwide.
With new advances in technology, some enterprising busi-
ness people built the first U.S. factories, and most of them
flourished. However, from the start the stark division in wealth
and position between industry owners and their workers was at
odds with the popular belief in American liberty and equality.
Despite early factory owners’ efforts to humanize factory work,
workers faced low wages and poor working conditions. Many
claimed they were slaves to wage labor. It was not long after the
first industrial workforces were hired that the first labor strikes
took place. The conflict between employers and employees
continued, and the factory owners’ early attempts to create
ideal circumstances for workers were abandoned. Professional
managers were hired to get as much work from the workforce
as possible. A huge influx of immigrants from Europe and Asia
from the 1840s until the 1920s supplied inexpensive labor, but
labor strikes continued.

After a slow beginning in the Northeast industrialization

began to spread at a rapid pace with the nationwide building of
transportation and communications systems. The construc-
tion of the transcontinental railroad spanning the nation
from one coast to the other—a mammoth undertaking—sig-
naled the start of a new way of life for all Americans. Where
railroads went, towns and cities with bustling new commerce
arose. The construction of the railroads spawned giant new
industries in steel, iron, and coal. Railroads brought farmers’
crops to distant markets and were instrumental in bringing the
industrial society to the West.

For the railroads to be built and industry to advance, capi-

tal, or vast quantities of money, was required. The art of raising
large amounts of capital and applying it to industry was mainly
accomplished by a generation of extremely capable industrial-
ists who built the gigantic industries that dominated the
nation and ruled its economy. These legendary men, admired
as the ‘‘captains of industry’’ by some and loathed as ruthless
crooks, or ‘‘robber barons,’’ by others, included railroad owner
Cornelius Vanderbilt, steel empire founder Andrew Carnegie,
Standard Oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, investment banker
J. P. Morgan, and many others. Though some of them came
from wealthy backgrounds, many were born in humble

Introduction xi
 circumstances and rose to wealth and power through their own
efforts. These industrialists created new systems of doing busi-
ness that are still in place today. Their tactics almost always
included creating monopolies, huge corporations that domi-
nated their industry nationwide and limited attempts at com-
petition by others. As the industrialists prospered, most of the
wealth of the nation fell into their hands. This period became
known as the Gilded Age, the era of industrialization from the
early 1860s to the turn of the century in which a few wealthy
individuals gained tremendous power and influence. During
the Gilded Age the power of industrialists and their corpora-
tions seemed unstoppable.

The number of U.S. companies dwindled from thousands

to hundreds as the most powerful industrialists bought out or
crushed their competitors. Once again, the national spirit of
liberty and equality was aroused. Farmers, laborers, poor immi-
grants, and labor unions as well as middle class reformers
sought relief from the power of the corporations, giving rise
to the Progressive Era, or the period of the American Industrial
Revolution that spanned roughly from the 1890s to about
1920, in which reformers worked together in the interest of
distributing political power and wealth more equally. It was
during this time that the strong hand of the federal govern-
ment was finally felt in American industry, as it began to leave
behind its laissez-faire, or non-interference, policies in order to
regulate businesses, curb monopolies, and protect workers.
By the twentieth century, the United States was the richest
and most powerful industrial nation in the world, but the
process of industrialization continued. During the twentieth
century industry was shaped by scientists like Frederick
Winslow Taylor, who devised measurable methods of business
management designed to produce top levels of efficiency. The
best-known follower of ‘‘Taylorism’’ was Henry Ford, who
began to mass produce affordable automobiles in 1909. The
Great Depression (1929–41) and World War II (1939–45) both
had profound effects on American industrialism, causing gov-
ernment controls and assistance to individuals to increase even
more. In recent decades, computers and globalism have been
the active agents of change in U.S. industrialism.
Finally, it is worthwhile to note that the development of
U.S. industrialization is not finished. It took more than one

ing society to an industrial world power. Adjusting to indus-

continue for many years to come.

Introduction xiii
 Reader’s Guide

T he United States began as a nation of farmers living in

remote areas, but over a period of two hundred years
the country became the wealthiest and most powerful
industrial nation of the world. During the American
Industrial Revolution inventors and innovators created
new and improved machines for manufacturing, while a
new breed of American businessmen created revolutionary
methods of conducting business and managing labor. The
road to industrialization was not always heroic.
Ruthlessness and greed were often key ingredients in
advancing industry. While a few found wealth and
power, multitudes of workers and farmers suffered, and
small businesses were crushed by the powerful new cor-
porations. Reformers, unions, and protestors against big
business played a crucial role in the industrialization pro-
cess as they pressed for the rights of workers and regula-
tions on business to help farmers and consumers. The
diverse people and events that forever changed the nation
from a rural farming economy to an industrialized urban
nation create a dramatic story that lies at the heart of U.S.
history.
