  2. talking about the Industrial Revolution In the 1870s.
  3. The United States into the period of prosperity along with
  4. the very, very long depression, because the number of workers
  5. in the industrial plants have all doubled because of the
  6. increase of production.
  7. With the more accurate index of this industry.
  8. The advancement of all the annual, of the annual value
  9. of all manufactured goods have increased dramatically from One of
  10. them from 5,400,000 Toss in 1879 to 13 billion in
  11. 1899. The expansion of iron and steel industry was always
  12. a key factor in the industrial economy.
  13. Even more impressive.
  14. From 1882, the annual production of still in the United
  15. States from about 1400 tons For more than 11 million
  16. tons. Before the end of the century, the United States
  17. surpassed the great great Britain in the production of iron
  18. and steel, was providing more one more than one quarter
  19. of the world's supply of pig iron.
  20. This also gave more headway when it came to our
  21. industries, when we started to build mechanisms such as the
  22. steam engine.
  23. Then we found out that we were able to use
  24. those engines, the still and iron all the minerals for
  25. different tasks as in gears to turn into factories instead
  26. of having to use our own manpower and risking our
  27. lives for something that uh machines can also achieve.
  28. Now with this we have been able to transport these,
  29. these and our manufacturers throughout the country and also allow
  30. our bit the businesses to the main entrepreneurs that also
  31. help with the enterprise.
  32. Enterprising is john was known as john D Rockefeller with
  33. oil Andrew.
  34. Carnegie was still, and such railroad builders as moto as
  35. Cornelius, vanderbilt, Leanne, stanford, Collins, p hunting, tent and Henry
  36. valid. These people have all made it possible to expand
  37. the industry throughout the period, which also made it easier
  38. for them too, become more obsessed with money and power
  39. they have.
  40. It has gotten to the point to where they started
  41. fighting about who was going to be the richest man
  42. in the country when it came to their specific manufacturing.
  43. This unfortunately made all made the workers go on strikes
  44. and quit or suicide.
  45. There was nearly 1600 strikes involving about 6,600,000 workers with
  46. the eight hour day.
  47. The most prominent item on demands of labor.
  48. About half of these strikes were called for May Day.
  49. Some of work, some of them were successful, but failure
  50. of others in and internal conflicts between skilled and unskilled
  51. members led to the decline in the nights popularity and
  52. influence. This also makes paved a way for them to
  53. start to work together and expand even further to the
  54. point where they have manufacture, manufactured different companies throughout the
  55. entire country and even the world during this period.
  56. They are during this period we have made so many
  57. mhm. In summary.
  58. Without the Industrial Revolution, we will not have some of
  59. the things that we have today, like telephones, uh tv
  60. internet, nothing sure we wouldn't even have chairs because Lord
  61. knows we we love some metal in our chest trying
  62. to sit around and everything.
