Abraham Lincoln

|
|
The assignation of Abraham was a major loss to our country as we lost one of the greatest leaders our country had ever seen. Abraham Lincoln had accomplished many in his presidency he had freed the slaves and kept the union together. But this is not all this great leader could have done for this country. He could have brought it back together after being divided by the civil war and rebuilt the demolished south. When John Wilkes Booth acted in taking the life of Abraham Lincoln he might have done what seemed good to him at the time but it did no justice to our country. But the whole blame could not just be towards one person. John Wilkes Booth because he did not act alone he had many accomplices in this crime and they were all found and hanged or poisoned for their crimes. The “Industrial Revolution” which transformed America during the nineteenth century was beginning in America soon after Washington became President. It is a name for the great changes brought by the modern factory system, which came first to Britain. There laws tried to prevent competition by making it a crime to take new machines or their designs out of the country. But still a few bold workers brought the plans to the United States in their heads. The first American textile factory pointed in Rhode Island in 1792 with 72 spindles and a work force of nine children. By 1850 census of the United States reported a great change. Where once the bulk of general manufacturing was carried on in the shop and the household now it was being done by a system of factory labor, compensated by wages and assisted by power. The Industrial Revolution helped bring about a Transportation Revolution. The same steam power and new techniques that made factories possible also brought the steamboats and the railroads. These carried farm and factory products out to the world.
