Along with the hopes of creating successful lives they additionally brought a revolution to agricultural systems. Many inventions and innovations were created in the United States during the 1800’s because of the influx of immigrant farmers. Immigrants contributed new ideas for businesses, farming, and transportation. Because agriculture was the main industry in Minnesota at this time, immigrant farmers needed a way to transfer their products easily and fast. With the high demand from immigrant farmers for innovations, solutions were finally produced by the mid-1800’s. Roads in between towns were officially marked, railroads were laid from small towns and farms to major cities, and rivers were dug up to make room for steamboats. These innovations were all devised for the benefits of farmers to move their goods and for people, such as immigrants, to be able to easily access any place in the United States. With these inventions it made it easier for new businesses and towns to emerge. New farming inventions such as the mechanical reaper and walk behind steel plows were also invented during this time. Finally, in 1862 to 1875, the first agricultural revolution occurred as farmers switched from hand power to horses. From then on everything was horse-drawn. Innovations in the agricultural industry were due to the high demand from the large numbers of immigrant farmers, without these innovations, the agricultural business in Minnesota would not have progressed as rapidly as it
The thirteenth amendment to the Constitution proclaims that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” This amendment was the piece of history that abolished slavery and did innumerable things for our country, but it also made room for something now known as black criminality. Through the thirteenth amendment emancipation was born. Through the language of the constitution— “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime”, the amendment was able to make loopholes for certain social agendas that led to the opposite of what the amendment intended to do.
The 1840s was a time period that formed what is now the United States today. Made up of new inventions, westward expansion, war, and slavery the U.S. took the 1840s as a big learning time period for the future which is now what we call the present. The 1840s is currently still affecting the people who live here today and will affect people forever. The inventions that were invented changed the nation completely, the slavery of the 1840s led to a big change which has created equal rights to all people and the westward expansion which formed the outline of our country today. The 1840s was a very critical time period in history and will continue to be for centuries to come.
Both constitutional and social developments greatly changed the United States to a revolutionary proportion between 1860 and 1877. The new amendments and the fight for civil rights altered the previous way of life and forever changed American society. Inequality, fear, and corruption sent the United States into turmoil that would transform the country and lead to a revolution of change.
The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are the amendments adopted to the United States Constitution after the Civil War. In succession, these amendments were adopted to the Constitution.
Excellent discussion. When the 13th Amendment prohibited the institution of slavery, it were unclear about the status of the black's in the South after the war. With the Reconstruction policies, whites reestablished civil authority in the southern states (formally known as the Confederate states). The whites created a series of black codes. With these restrictive laws, they were made to restrict the freed black's work activity and use them for general labor since slavery was no longer prohibited. Also, under the black codes, some of the states were forced black worker to sign labor contract. If they refused, they subjected to being fined, not getting paid, or jailed. The Northerners wasn't happy with the black codes, so the control of the
The changes in American agriculture was molded by three key factors, economic change, government policy and technology, in the period of 1865-1900.Technology helped facilitated production of good as well as their transportation. Farmers were able to produce more goods, yet they overproduced and it resulted in economic hardship for them. They could not afford to export goods through the rail roads high rates, and led to clashing with the government, for the lack of support. Such factors resulted in change of American agriculture.
The developments in transportation changed the American economy and society from 1820 to 1860 in ways of an increased land value, faster traded goods, new cities, and a deeper sense of nationalism. Before these changes came about, the US economy and society was based on an agrarian setting. After this time frame, American Society turned into a capitalist marketplace. In the northern US, there were few changes in terms of industry because they were involved in an industrial revolution. However, the new Transportation Revolution blasted the West into an agricultural empire that provided consumable exports to the other parts of the country.
According to the discussion with fellow classmates on the topic of consistency in reference of the Constitution and Bill of Rights in comparison to the newly added Reconstruction Amendments which we're the 13th, 14th and 15th, not only did it change American society drastically, but continues to have an on going impact in the 21st century most importantly modern day immigration. It was a catalyst for many other movements around the same time such as Women's suffrage and the rise of Feminists. A slow progressive change and thought within the South as Slaves who are now considered as equals, at least in theory; to the extent of becoming American citizens who are allowed to have opinions and rights. Elected African Americans held office
During the 1700s, farming changed greatly. The changes were for the better. It made farmers work a lot easier and allowed them to have more crops. Before the revolution farmers lives were hard and stressful. Then the agricultural revolution brought changes to crop rotation, the new inventions and the amount of land one farmer could farm in one year with little help.
The three amendments in this chapter are the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment. To begin with the thirteenth began in 1865 and it abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, but it had an exception that allowed it to be used if a person is convicted. The exception gave people permission to allow someone to endure slavery and servitude as a sort of punishment for their wrongdoing. The decisions of this amendment are controlled by congress.
With the economic system, the south had a very hard time producing their main source “cotton and tobacco”. “Cotton became commercially significant in the 1790’s after the invention of a new cotton gin by Eli Whitney. (PG 314)” Let alone, if they had a hard time producing goods, the gains would be extremely unprofitable. While in the North, “In 1837, John Deere patented a strong, smooth steel plow that sliced through prairie soil so cleanly that farmers called it the “singing plow.” (PG 281).” Deere’s company became the leading source to saving time and energy for farming as it breaks much more ground to plant more crops. As well as mechanical reapers, which then could harvest twelve acres a day can double the corn and wheat. The North was becoming more advanced by the second. Many moved in the cities where they would work in factories, which contributed to the nation’s economic growth because factory workers actually produced twice as much of labor as agricultural workers. Steam engines would be a source of energy and while coal was cutting prices in half actually created more factories, railroads for transportation, and ships which also gave a rise in agricultural productivity.
Many citizens in the United States were led to believe that after the Civil War, the United States and its’ territories had indeed freed all slaves from their masters but, what many did not see coming was a loophole in the 13th Amendment that would leave a major footprint in U.S history. The thirteenth amendment states, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction". However, the key phrase in this amendment was “except as a punishment for crime”. Since slavery was illegal because of the 13th amendment, many individuals and large corporations found a new and legal method to continue
Since the fight for liberty from Europe, the political system of the United States had change for good. The United States had made improvement in their government structure to make the country a better place. The country has being affected in many different ways since the departure from the mother country. Due to the liberty the American people wanted, they had to make a government that could lead them to a better country than the mother country. The American people had being making many improvements to the government to make a strong self-governed country. The country had had some advantages and disadvantages that lead the country to the government what is today. The political history of Unites States from constitutional convention to 1846 was a growing influence for government progressiveness, slavery and women.
