From the Paper:

"The Industrial Revolution is one of the few events in American history that has completely revolutionized the very fundamentals of itself and so greatly changed the way American people live and function. Almost overnight, America became a much more complicated nation. It was essentially transformed from a primarily agrarian society to the world s foremost industrial empire in less than a half-century. The rise of industrialization in America can be roughly attributed to specific people, inventions, and new philosophies. The rapid changes of industrialization had both positive and negative connotations for the geopolitical environment of the world and for the people of America."
