The Effects of Industrialization on U.S. Society from 1865 - 1900 In 1865, America was just coming out of the period of Reconstruction following the damaging Civil War, and by the early 20th century, it was on the brink of the first World War. In between those events, the Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution, occurred. It was marked by advancements in mechanization that made manufacturing more effective, and in turn made industrialization more widespread. This pervasive industrialization impacted prices, the way work was done and perceived, and how corporations were organized and conducted.…

First I will go over how industrialization affected America economically. Industrialization was at a rise during this time many “Big Shot” industrialists became quite wealthy from this, although most industrialists used ruthless business tactics to accumulate their wealth. Andrew Carnegie believed in the moral duty of the rich giving back to the community so he spent much of his wealth paying for libraries, universities, trust funds, and Carnegie Hall to be built also creating more jobs (Shown in Document 8). Another Economic effect on the United States was the American entry into WWI. The army for the United States wasn’t as prepared for the modern campaigning military action like other European nations. America’s productive strength made up for that by boosting billions of dollars and our industrial potential caused its share of world manufacturing output to be 2 and a half times that of Germanys. Our entry transformed the balances and compensated for the collapse of Russia at the time (Shown in Document 9) this being a positive of American industrialization.…

The United States shifted from a manufacturing to a service-based economy in the 1980s. The shift was more commonly referred to as deindustrialization. Deindustrialization triggered the reemergence of mass unemployment. Around the mid 1980s, Americans began to suffer the effects of a downfall in urban communities. Good paying, manufacturing jobs that once provided a living wage vanished. The decline of manufacturing jobs in America led to excessive drug and crime rates, degrading living conditions, and social isolation and racial tension amongst the urban community residents.…
