    The city of Waltham is located in the west of Massachusetts, approximately 11 miles north-west of downtown Boston, along the Charles River and its several dams. With a population of just over 60,000, Waltham ranks as the 36th largest city in Massachusetts. The year 1634 marks the first settlement in the area and the establishment of Watertown. On January 3rd, 1738, Waltham was officially incorporated as a separate town, following a dispute over tax receipts that set the farmers in West Precinct to break away. According to the legend, however, it was Leif Erickson and the Vikings who had first visited and colonized Waltham, as early as around the year 1000.…

    Promoters of mercantilism petitioned state legislatures for assistance. Legislatures granted special charters, rights, and laws to private companies to promote economic growth and the market economy. As a large and undeveloped nation, the United States lacked an efficient transportation system, and needed to raise large amounts of revenue to fund infrastructure improvements. American entrepreneurs encouraged expansion by developing rural manufacturing networks like the ones in Europe. Enterprising merchants bought raw materials, hired workers in farm families to process them, and sold the finished manufactured goods in regional or national markets. Merchants shipped shoes, brooms, and palm leaf hats as well as cups, baking pans, and other tin utensils to stores in seaport cities. This business expansion resulted innovations in organizing production. Also, during the 1780’s, New England and Middle Atlantic merchants built water powered mills to run machines that combed wool and later cotton into long strands. The growth of manufacturing offered farm families new opportunities and new risks as well.…

    In early America between the years of 1825-1850, America was rapidly changing and reforming the way people lived. Societal problems and major discrepancies that had previously been overlooked began to rapidly gain awareness. The main idea of the reforms in the United States at this time was the relatively new sense of Democracy. Reform sought to maximize these benefits in light of Democracy and for this reason came up with many changes in which greater good can be found through freedom, justice, and equality of all people.…

    The geography of Washington is shown with the creation of the railroad. People who came to Washington saw the great wheat belt or all the other signs of great agriculture so they would start their own farm and harvest wheat or fruit or any other food (Artifact C). Logging was also common and this brought deforestation of forests. There was many logging companies that all cut down trees so the outcome of all these logging companies was a huge loss of trees in Washington. A Scandinavian article says that Washington has more fertile land, better forests, rich mines, and great fruit harvesting and orchard growing (Artifact G). Railroads line the state of Washington, cutting through the mountains and forest and going through towns which helps with transportation and changes the geography (Artifact W). When the terminus of the railroad was decided to be put in Tacoma settlers boosted the town but with the gold rush people started moving to Seattle and Seattle was able to grow faster and be the bigger city (Artifact Y). The growing of farms and lumber companies changed the geography of Washington.…

    During the time over the 1800s and the early 1900s, there were many large issues that appeared over time as the United States started to grow larger and larger. One of the main things was the increasing amount of children joining the workforce, due to their families not being able to support themselves due to raise in housing. The children were often given pennies a day, much less then what an adult would make, and missed out on learning and important opportunities such as reading and writing. The kids would have to work in a hazardous environment, often with pollutants in the air and dangerous machinery.…

    Advancements in new technology clearly promoted the industrial growth of the United States. The new technologies allowed business owners to reduce labor in the movement of materials from one point to the other. This occurred by using the new technology of railroads and machinery. Business owners used the railroads to transport their finished product and raw materials around the country more efficiently, which enabled businesses to expand. The business owners were now able to use machines for lifting materials from one floor to another and to use conveyor belts to move materials around on an assembly line. The use of machines is evident because the graph in document 5 clearly shows that American industrial and agricultural power sources between 1850 and 1900 changed. This is evident because in 1850, only 13% human power and 35% water and coal power was used, but in 1900 a mere 5% human power and a whopping 73% water and coal power was used. The use of machines more than doubled over the course from 1850-1900, and the human output declined more than half.…
