Course Date Social and Economics Change in North during 1790 to 1860 Most of the historians and papers look at the United States after the Civil War in order to trace the impetus for economic growth, people imagine the Civil War as a major force to unite and to move forward to an economic expansion. But, in reality, the important era of the economic development was prior 1790 to 1860 or the era prior to the Civil War. The western expansion provided with natural resources to stabilize and fuel the industrial growth. The strictures, which were existed in the theocracy of New England, were extinguished by 1790 ("APUSH-Wiki-Marlborough-School - Life in the North from 1790 - 1860", 2016). North was not an agrarian economy , as less and less land available in those years more sons opted out of the forms and moved to the seaport cities which were then populated by the young generation of males working their ways out. American food was in high demand in the world. These export demands strengthen the industries, especially in the seaport cities. Wage labor was in high demand as the large scale manufacturing needed labor force. The first factory was built I n1791 but the industry as a whole was slow to spread in the U.S. owing to several reasons. Firstly, labor was not available to support the immediate wide scale expansion of the industry. The Government was not supportive in the industrial expansion and a tough competition with the foreign industries were hindering the industrialization. As many of the American products were under prohibition in some countries and in some countries the terrify was higher than normal. However, the imposition of embargo in 1807 and 1812 wars helped in the growth of factories ("Full text of "Economic growth of the United States, 1790-1860"", 2016) . In 1816 the tariff was imposed which protected the industry of North. As the industry was mainly in the North, North developed as the manufacturers. The inflow of immigrants from Ireland and Germany in 1830’s provided a large number of labor for the industry to carry out production. By 1850 the total output of the industrial goods surpassed the total output of agriculture, which was signaling a second industrial revolution. The manufacturing industry , the invention of the steam engine and the water based power generation even boosted the western forms through machinery and developed ways of agriculture,e but on the other hand the technological advancement of South seemed regressing over the years as much of the work as done by the slaves. The large forms of the West made the North to depend on the commercial goods and the amount of commercial goods increased twelve fold during the era between 1800 to 1856. The growing transportation netwroks created a web of links between Northeast and west which boosted the commerce even more, the railroads enhanced the transportation capacity even further. Between 1830 to 1850 the successful units of mills grew almost double and power looms produced fabric and in the same era the sewing machine invention turned that fabric into clothes. The steam engine was used in almost every machinery from ships to the printing press. The inventions of tools even helped farmers such as Cyrus the McCormick’s reaper and John Deer’s steel plough. The important process of the century was vulcanizing of Rubber which used in the automobile industry. The telegraph was also invented in the same era. The road and railroads combined brought the market revolution because of the reduction in time. Even ships were advanced with engines. The whole economic revolution of the commercial economy of the North was larglely backed by the social changes of the time. The process was simultaneous and both the changes reciprocate each other and influenced as well. The social spectrum was changed after the signing of the declaration. The growth of western forms and unavailability of land in the North the farmers of North were out of the competition. The small factories of the cities promised enough dollars to run the family show. When the forms got out of the pictures the family size grew smaller in the North. Farmers switched to Livestock and female became the center of the household. The social unrest was also present because of the ever changing economic scene of the North. Women too started looking for jobs in the firms, some of them decided not to have kids and many were married by their own choice. The arrange marriage was getting out of the picture. Most of the working women were unmarried as the marriage would put them into the house. However, during this turmoil women gained the social control of their lives. The agriculture was switched from the tobacco to corn. The end of slavery was expected, but a big cotton industry put an end to all these hopes and debates. The increased migrated population had its social implications. However the single women had opportunities in the factories. These mills were more mechanized and skill labor was not needed. The salary provided them with necessaties and savings for future plans.
