If you do something that has never been done you will accomplish that have never been done and discover things that have not yet been discovered . The industrialization of America increased the speed of change politically, economically, and socially. Without the major advancements made at this time, our world would be much different today.
To begin, the growth of industry was spurred by many factors. New technology was a large part of the growth. The technology allowed railroads and cities to expand. New exploration in the west was made possible because of the railroads. Power plants were the new sources of energy, and also helped with the industrial advances. Another main factor was the idea of social darwinism. This is when only the businesses that are thriving stay, and the businesses that are not doing as well are eliminated.
Next, the cities were rapidly growing and flourishing in America at the time. One of the causes of this is the increasing population. More homes and resources are needed to support everyone.

At first, children were forced to work in the factories to support their families, too. Then, they were sent to school because of a new concept. This new concept was called compulsory education. Compulsory education made children go to school to get an education until they were a certain age instead of working in the factories.
In conclusion, the industrialization of America was a large step for our country. We made so many advancements politically, economically and socially. Our country’s technology, transportation and education have evolved so much from what they used to be. Our everyday life would have been so much different if it hadn’t been for the industrial era.
