John Stevens
John Stevens became interested in steam locomotion in the 1780’s. He
established the world's first steam ferry, and later built the first operating steam
locomotive in the United States.

Prior to the railroad it was difficult for companies to move products to distant locations.
A transportation system was needed to efficiently and cheaply move both raw materials to the factories and the finished goods to the consumers.
River and canal transportation were limited to areas near water routes. In addition, frozen water prevented their use during the winter.
Railroads solved the problems and within a few decades of development, railroads became the most important method of moving goods and people.
Why were railroads so important for the industrial growth of the United States?
![Page 18: Early Industrialization in America](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062306/5695cefd1a28ab9b028c1b71/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The width of the rail tracts (gauge) was standardized which allowed trains from different railroads to switch tracks.
Four standardized time zones were created for the entire nation in 1883. This made it possible to create train arrival and departure times across the country.
Steel rails replaced iron rails, which could carry heavier loads.
The state and federal governments gave railroads huge grants of land amounting to over 180 million acres. This provided an incentive to build more lines and encouraged settlement.
George Westinghouse patented the first automatic air brake, which made train travel much safer.
Innovations led to the creation of an efficient rail network in the United States

George Pullman designed a sleeping car including the services of supplying the linens, housekeeping, and attendants for the sleeping cars, making train travel much more comfortable. Pullman’s car gained much attention after it housed President’s Lincoln’s body through 8 states during the funeral procession.

There were hundreds of inventions that increased output for farmers beginning in the 1840s. Major new machinery included:
Reapers Automatic wire binderThreshing machine Mechanical planter Mechanical cutter
Huskers and shellers Cream separators Manure spreaders
Potato planters Hay driers
Poultry incubators
New inventions led to the mechanization of agriculture

Average workday was 11 hours per

From a report on Lowell, a mill in Massachusetts,
working conditions in 1846“Thus thirteen hours per day of close attention and monotonous
labor are exacted from the young women in these
manufactories. . . So fatigued-we should say, exhausted and worn out but we wish to speak of the system in the simplest language-are numbers o f the girls, that they go to bed soon after their evening meal? and endeavor by a comparatively long sleep to resuscitate their
weakened frames for the toils of the coming day. “

Unions began to form after the Revolutionary War in cities such as Philadelphia and Baltimore. In the 1820s the Mechanics'
Union of Trade Associations, the first to combine different types of unions, formed. Their goals were not only
higher wages and improved working conditions but also free public schools, abolition of debtors jail, and universal male suffrage. The Union entered politics
to secure their goals.
Labor ReformPreamble of the Mechanics' Union of Trade Associations
(Philadelphia, 1828)“We, the Journeymen Mechanics
of the City and County of Philadelphia, conscious that our
condition in society, is lower than justice demands it should be, and feeling our inability, individually,
to ward off from ourselves and families those numerous evils
which result from an unequal and very excessive accumulation of
wealth and power into the hands of a few, are desirous of forming an Association, which shall avert as much as possible those evils
with which poverty and incessant toil have already inflicted, and which threaten ultimately to, overwhelm and destroy us…”

Up until the mid-19th century, a person
could be put in jail if they could not pay back money owed. Early unions pushed to have debtors jails
abolished.

Child labor was widespread in the 19th and early 20th
centuries, for example, in New
England about 30% of workers were
children under 16.

In the late 1820s, unions entered politics with the Working Men's Party. It was made up of craftsmen, skilled journeymen, and reformers who sought a 10-hour workday, free public education, abolition of debtor imprisonment, and an end to prison contract labor..
Many of the early labor unions were destroyed by the economic collapse caused by the Panic of 1837. Nearly 30% of U.S. workers lost their jobs.
Labor unions made a comeback in the 1840s and 1850s but were again devastated by the economic crisis of the Panic of 1857.
Unions came back strongly after the Civil War.
