We are starting with Quarter 2. So far we have completed 3 assignments. The questions on the Battle of Little Bighorn, a T-Chart to review the Advantages and Hardships of emigrating westward, and notes on the video "Heartland".
Today we start on "Industrialism".
In your notebook be sure define and learn the following terms:
Gross National Product
Laissez-faire
entrepreneur
corporation
economies of scale
monopoly
trust
holding company
Read and take notes on pages 91 - 109...Note the many causes of the Industrial Revolution in the US. Note the many effects the growth of Railroads had on Americans.
Finally, take notes and chart the various forms of business that developed at this time. What were the advantages and disadvantages of each? What types of consolidation came about? Who was helped and who was hurt by business consolidation?
