Conservatism In The 18th Century

In the 18th century, Britain was the leading industrialize country. Max Weber stated that capitalism was created by Protestant/Calvinist. Since protestant belief more work ethic than Catholics. Weber belief business/external force starts by simple thoughts. Which resulted from Emile Durkheim theory stating that the more industrialize a country gets the more suicide rates there are. The ideological belief in that era was Laissez-faire, which in another word it was classical liberalism(difference from American democracy). This essentially meant that workers were treated harshly which resulted in two things: revolutionists like Karl Marx( the believe that capitalism was bad, as it took people's talents and sell them for profit) and people
like Herbert Spencer( that believe that people that are not capable of keeping up that they should just die off) social Darwinism. Samuel Slater came from Britain to bring blueprints of industrial machines to America. In 1900 the United States become the leading industrialize country. Before the Civil War, the United States leading profit was cotton with the confederate states holding the most profit out of it. While the union states held the industries. When the Union won the Civil War, the confederates allowed industries to take place. Industries such as railroads, electricity, and oil.
