Jay Cooke and Co. became largely invested in railroad construction, such as the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific line. The companies were supplied by federal land grants, including over 60 million acres that were signed over to Jay Cooke’s firm. The firm uses the land as a collateral to secure more loans and sell more stock. Jay Cooke’s firm closed their doors in the fall of 1873, declaring bankruptcy and unable to repay its debts. Following the fall of the firm, many banking firms and industries who’ve also invested had mirrored the decline of Jay Cooke and Co.
After 200 years the town shut down. In 1962, the mills shut down completely. In the late 1960’s, the investors built a huge hotel in the community.
Some of the larger companies such as John Deere, International and Allis Chalmers had built up enough revenue from investors that they were able to stay open. Many of those companies are still in operation to this day

After realizing he wouldn’t be able to create machines on demand, he decided to implement a strategy for more efficient production. He went into full production after the fall harvests, and turned his focus on sales in the spring. This method turned out to be successful, for McCormick sold twenty-nine reapers in1843, whereas Obed Hussey, his rival, sold only two machines (Sobel 112). Furthermore, his advertising, and customer testimonials emphasized how his machine was worth

Four of the milling corporations equaled 87% of the flour production. Among them was Charles Pillsbury’s company, the most productive of them all,also among them was Gold medals flour, General Mills, and
The Lowell Mill system was a revolutionary new method of manufacturing that began in the early 19th century. Created by Francis Cabot Lowell in 1814, the Lowell system was faster and more efficient as it gathered many stages of the textile process under one roof. The Lowell system was soon favored over the old “putting-out system,” where work was contracted by a central figure to various subcontractors who completed work at their own facilities. Instead, workers of the mill worked on site, and were housed and fed by the company. This close proximity of labor led to a mass production of high quality products.
Morgan’s investments were the creation of some of America’s first big businesses, which shaped the economy of the Progressive era and beyond. The major two were the reorganization of the U.S. railroad into a big business and U.S. Steel. According to “United States Steel”, Carnegie Steel was purchased by J.P. Morgan for $480 million. U.S. Steel was not just one company it was formed from ten steel companies, including Carnegie Steel (“United States Steel”). The company contained many coal reserves in Western Pennsylvania and controlled the largest shipping line on the Great Lakes with 80 blast furnaces and 149 steel mills and plants producing steel (“United States Steel”).
Sadly, the business soon failed, puting the Carnegies in need of money once again(“Andrew Carnegie: Pioneer.”). Andrew soon joined
The Native Americans have always seemed to run into conflict with the American Government. The situation usually plays in favor of the Americans, usually enforced by law leaving the Native Americans with no choice. This is what happened in the excerpt from Life of Black Hawk an autobiography by Black Hawk. From this section of the story, Black Hawk tells about his signing of the Treaty of 1804 and the consequences that later come. These actions are not what was expected, and were the beginning to a terrible relationship between the two.

These workers wanted reduced work hours and fought big against their pay cuts. Eventually the strike ended and everything was back to normal.

In 1813, Boston Associates a group of capitalists “constructed the first textile mill” in Waltham, Massachusetts. “In 1822, the Boston Associates developed a new water-powered mill at a village along the Merrimack River, which they rename Lowell” (America, 286). In the beginning, the system seemed promising but years later, multiple problems such as restricted living, dangerous living condition, low wages started to appear. Finding workers was not much of a problem for factories.
I chose this assignment because it was one of the favorite assignments I've ever done. Ms.Gonzales, our history teacher, asked me to pick a topic and make a movie poster as if I was a director. The point of this assignment was to learn the story of the Boston Tea Party. On this assignment, I earned a 25 over 20 which was an A-plus. I completed this assignment by planning out everything so I don't procrastinate.
Today we live in a glоbal econоmy in which the time taken for peоple to mоve between continents has been significantly rеduced and in which Internet and other connections make instant connections possible. So to be succеssful these days, even small businesses must plan their marketing strategies to attract cоnsumer interest outside of their local markets. Although there are risks involved, there also are plenty of аdvantages to expanding a business worldwide. If you don’t offer a product on the world market, a competitor probably will. Some types of businesses are more аppropriate than others for global market expаnsion.
