Hey everyone! Today we discussed the widening gap between the North and the South during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. We discussed how the North transformed into an area reliant on manufacturing and the South became more reliant on cultivating crops (i.e., cotton).
We also discussed the United States government's role in promoting industry. We discussed the role of the government in creating the Patent Office, helping fund internal improvements (i.e., canals and roads), and in protecting American manufacturing.
For homework, you are to read pp. 274-279 in your textbook and answer #1-5 on p. 279. Please note that although these pages span the 1820s to the 1850s, it is a continuation on the industrialization process and technological change.
Have a great day!
