Industrial Revolution

The Erie Canal was a man made canal they built during their period of the market revolution. This was significant to the U.S. because it help them get a bigger market distribution. With this canal it help them bring goods from Albany, New York to Lake Erie which stretch 363 miles. Also it was the easily transportation to their surplus productions.
Free enterprise is the freedom of private businesses to operate competitively for profit with little government regulation. Entrepreneurs is a businessmen who invested their own money in new industries. It was important to the U.S. because it help people make more money.
The most important resource the U.S. had to help it become a world-wide industrial power was black gold which was oil.
The black gold was significant because they used it in many of their transportation and other use. Oil was basic use in light lambs and machinery.
Steel was manufacture by removing the Carbon from iron produces a lighter, more flexible, and rust-resistant metal-steel. Steel was used to make railroads tracks for thousands of miles, machines, and architecture building.
Buildings we're change and improved during the industrail revolution. With a steel frame to support the weight, architects could build as high as they wanted.
A new industrail revolution is always happening. The difference is that in the past the used steam boats and telegraph and now we use cars and cellphones or house phone. Two things we still use like the past is black gold(oil) to put on our machine and more. Also steel we use it in many buildings, bridge and machines.
