Answer 2

Effects of the 2nd industrial revolution and how it is different from the 1st?

Answer 3

I can tell you the different effects of the Second Industrial Revolution (and in the same style of last question), but using the information of the last question and this question, I think you can compare and contrast the First and the Second Industrial Revolution yourself. :)

Answer 4

Agriculture
-farm production increased as new technology developed
-the US economy shifted from agriculture-based to industry-based
-fewer farmers were needed to produce enough food for the country's population (why do you think?)

Business/Political
-large business organizations began to form, squeezing business from smaller operations
-labor unions became more organized as workers began to fight for equality and fairness

Social
-a lot of people moved to the US to work in industry
-cities began to grow up and out with more than half of the population living in urban areas
-new social classes (lower, middle, upper)
-living conditions in cities deteriorated as populations increased and saniation and inadequate housing emerged.

-advancements in commuication (telephone, telegraph) united the country
-development of a process to refine oil improved transportation and machine operations
-an abundance of steel heped launch the construction of heavy machinery and railroads
