The Second Industrial Revolution

During the late 1800s, the period when industrial growth was so dramatic was called the Second Industrial Revolution. New technologies expanded throughout this period such as the Bessemer process which was an inexpensive way to make steel from iron, oil, railroad expansion, and corporations. The Second Industrial Revolution created many jobs but it had many imbalanced conditions. The rich were getting tremendously rich, while the poor stayed very poor and unfortunate. Governments paid little attention to workers. Also, labor workers were in terrible conditions and rights were violated during the Industrial Revolution.
