The discovery of gold also brought new technology and industry. Gold miners needed more efficient tools and equipment to mine gold, so machine-building and transportation
This had impact on the Victoria history due to how multicultural Victoria is compared to other countries. If the gold rush never happened Australia might be very well another type of country. Right when it started many of other states factory and shops went empty. 80% of police left their jobs all for that gold and wealth.
The Industrial Revolution began in England in the 1700’s within the textile industry. The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes by using different machines. Before the Industrial Revolution people made different things by hand or simple tools. For example, people wove textiles by hand, and after the Industrial Revolution machines were used instead. The Industrial Revolution began in England because of many reasons.
These new ideas and technologies helped bring America to its height of power, and developed the American Dream. Despite the positives, the Gold Rush produced several negative side effects which are still visible today. Thus the American gold rush of 1848 was one of the most important events that shaped the United States.
The impact industrialism had on the Gilded Age was that it allowed people to gain wealth, improve materials, and to increase production. Industrialists like Vanderbelt and Rockerfeller are one of the main reasons this time period is called, the Gilded Age, because of how they were able to create monopolies within the railroad and oil industries and thus, make themselves rich. These two people impacted the Gilded Age by further improving people's lives with their ideas. Vanderbelt cut travel time to seven days with his first transcontinental railroad and Rockerfeller made homes safer by creating standard oil that won't be as dangerous as kerosene. People like them also shaped how we do business today by carving the path to nationwide trade
It saw a surge in the manufacture of flour mills, timber, clothing and leather, as well as an explosion in the creation of mining machinery and equipment. Wholesale and retail were established to meet the customers' rising demands, and new roads, bridges, ferries, wagons, and steamships were constructed (Norwhich University Online).The United States emerged as a new market for the commodities produced and manufactured abroad, and the markets and economy brought about by the Gold Rush looked to "emerge out of nowhere". However, the Gold Rush had a negative impact on the environment, with soil becoming polluted, trees being cut down, waterways becoming clogged with silt, and wildlife being exterminated (Norwhich University
The Industrial Revolution was a period that took place from the 18th to 19th centuries by which society was moving towards a more urban society than an agrarian one. During the revolution ideas of establishing a mass economic country were huge goals for America. The 1860 through 1870s were known as the years of westward expansion. The California Gold rush of 1849 in San Francisco and the discovery of silver in Nevada promised Americans economic wealth. Although there were still economic instabilities and panics in America from 1860 through 1870, the construction of the transcontinental railroad did mark a turning point in the American Economy through the support given to monopolies and the regulation of business by the federal government.
The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18th-19th centuries rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban. Before the Industrial Revolution manufacturing was often done in people’s homes, using hand tools or simple machines. Industrialization created a shift to powered machines, factories and mass production. The iron and textile industries, along with the steam engine, played certain roles in the Industrial Revolution, which also saw improved ways of transportation, communication and banking.
Between the 1820s and 1860s, a time period that was greatly influenced by the Industrial Revolution, people were willing to work hard so that they could provide for their families. Slaves were still being used to help develop the United States of America by harvest crops such as cotton, and please their “masters.” were forced to work and help develop the country. Both slavery and industry helped the country grow financially. Slaves had to work harder to meet higher cotton demands. The introduction of the cotton gin also aided in the aided in the rapid production of cotton (PIIP 9).
In August 1896 when Skookum Jim Mason, Dawson Charlie and George Washington Carmack found gold in a tributary of the Klondike River in Canada's Yukon. This caused many stampeders to search Yukon in hopes of finding gold. To reach the gold fields, most took the route through the ports of Dyea and Skagway in Southeast Alaska. This took place from 1896 to 1899. I think the gold rush was not successful because stampeders traveled
With industrialization came many new inventions and successful businessmen. Industrialists had major impacts on the Gilded Age. During the Gilded Age, Thomas Edison Invented the lightbulb. This enabled workers to continue working after dark.
Even though it was before computers and phones, the information spread quickly across the country and started what is called Manifest Destiny. This will tell you about some of the important parts of the westward expansion. Gold Rush: The gold rush started in January 1848 in the city of Coloma California when a man named James Wilson Marshall found gold flakes in the American River at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. When he found the gold, he was working to build a water-powered sawmill owned by John Sutter. They tried not to tell anybody but word got out very quickly.
Some immigrants came seeking gold and
Additionally, a group of five miners “collected $75,000 in gold,” (Gillon 63). This proves that from the Gold Rush Americans were able to grow in wealth and, in some cases, simply by using their own territory to gain more money. The Gold Rush left a positive impact on American History because Americans gained money.
The technological improvements was the primary cause of the Industrial Revolution. The act of inventing technologies was built upon one technology over another. With many main source items being invented, more technologies were able to immerge at a faster pace, and be an efficient/well working design. The many technologies came out efficiently and effectively.
