13. Second Industrial Revolution - Started after 1871. New chemicals were made which enabled Germany and France to take the lead in producing the alkalies used in the textile, soap, and paper industries, as well as soda, whereas Great Britain fell behind. Electricity was the new source of energy that could form into other energy such as heat, light and motion. In 1870s, the first commercially practical generators of electrical current were developed. It also spawned new inventions. There was also the development of the internal combustion engine, which had a similar effect to electricity. Electricity also…
Coal was used to produce 50 of the total 100 units of electricity in Australia in 1980, rising to 130 out of 170 units in 2000. By contrast, nuclear power became the most important fuel source in France in 2000, producing almost 75% of the country’s electricity.…
However, the American people transed their focus from light textile industry to heavy industry. For this reason, electric, chemistry, petroleum, and coal mines, etc, started coming out one by one. From the beginning of Thomas Alva Edison discovered the new energy---electricity and invented light bulb. The range of using electricity got extremely increased. After the discovery of electricity, petroleum and Coal mines, became the new energy instead of steam.…

This created a disparity between the rich and the working poor. This stage in society separation, known as socialism and marked by unequal pay for the work performed, is the intermediate stage between capitalism and communism, according to German philosopher and revolutionary socialist Karl Marx’s theory “The Communist Manifest”. (“Karl Marx” 2011) Marx described Communism “as a society in which each person should contribute according to their ability and receive according to their need”. (“Karl Marx” 2011)…
Inequalities still exists in todays world. We still have strikes. We still want better pay. People will always want more than what they are given. The years between 1865 and 1915 can more of less be summarized as the Second Industrial Revolution in America. The first Industrial Revolution was a transitioning period to new processes of manufacturing. This involved going from using machines over a more hands on approach of production, new iron production processes, an increase in steam power, a better way to harness water power, and a big rise in the use of factories. This put many of people out of jobs.…
Industrialization- As American factories grew, they no longer needed to employ skilled workers who had spent years learning their particular trade. Instead, they could hire unskilled laborers who performed simple tasks and worked for lower wages. As a result, American factory work became "deskilled" after the Civil War.…
During the time Hawthorne wrote "The Birthmark," the Industrial Revolution led to many great things such as steam motorized engines, electricity, and interchangable parts that later benefitted the world. The Industrial Revolution also introduced steel and iron to its production. Although these innovation made a great impact to the socitey, it also had a negative impact to it. For example, factories provided job opportuities in cities but as the population increased, so did the pollution which cause many health issues. In addition to this, children were forced in labor work for survival. As years went by, factories became a dangerous hazardous place. Furthermore, I believe that the character from the book "The Birthmark," Aylmer had indeed…

The second Industrial Revolution proved more drastic, not only in inventions, but in social and government policies and reforms. Art and culture flourished and was transformed into many different and unique styles. The first Industrial Revolution had forever changed England, and later the world. England was now ready for another change, as life with machinery had already been assimilated into society.…
After Reconstruction, the makeup of American life changed dramatically with the Second Industrial Revolution. The Second Industrial Revolution was driven by rise of the patented inventions and the formation of corporations. Many of these corporations were bought out by a few wealthy men to form trusts. These trusts such as the Carnegie Steel Company and Standard Oil Company were essentially monopolies that controlled the economy and politics. This rise of big business from 1870 to 1900 was achieved through powerful economic influence and corrupt political acts that affected laborers, immigrants, and families across America.…
Immigration was a huge part of the industrial revolution, some migrated legal, some illegal. Either way, many immigrants came to the United States searching for a dream, the American dream to be precise. This leads to the question; Why did people immigrate to America? There can be many answers to this question, but some of the most important answers are: political, others economic, while yet others religious, whatever the case was, the United States became a mix of different cultures. However, the main reason for immigration was because of the “Industrial Revolution” Industrial Revolution is basically the changes in industry from the 18th century to the 19th century that started in Britain and then other Western European countries and spread to the Unites States.…

The revolution supplied great opportunities for American people along with troubling times. The second industrial revolution changed the lives of the working population for the better and the worse. Most of the workers had an increase in the standard of living but at the same time they experienced harsh and dangerous working conditions.…
The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s, caused the transition between the grueling manual labor we now consider archaic to machines still used in factories to this day. With this newfound efficiency, however, came a whole slew of unforeseen problems, many of which related to the bad conditions in which the working class was placed. Although many of these problems were unique in their solutions, many others could be solved with the application of socialist values within the capitalism that was eventually chosen.…
