Industrialization Begins


Today, we are going to analyze the effects of Industrialization on U.S. society from the different perspectives of those who lived through it.
1.Industrialization Roleplay

The Industrial Revolution took place over more than a century,
as production of goods moved
from home and agricultural businesses,
where products were generally crafted by hand,
to machine-aided production in factories.
This revolution, which involved major changes in
transportation, manufacturing, and communications,
transformed the daily lives of Americans as much as
and arguably more than
any single event in U.S. history.
