The American System*****HUGE*****

War of 1812- 1815... Influenced the Creation of an American Manufacturing and 1ST
Industrial Revolution* (The 2nd* begins after the Civil War)… This drastically
emerges and changes the Nation from this point forward… It’s basis was the Cotton
Textile Industry…that emerges in factories mostly in New England….but the
emergence of Steam Power applied to Transportation and Agricultural engines, as

Whitney… all drastically affect the NATURE OF WORK… and combined with HENRY
CLAY’S AMERICAN SYSTEM… (THE MARKET REVOLUTION) … BEGINS THE UNITED
STATES CLIMB TO BECOME THE WORLDS LEADING INDUSTRIAL NATION BY 1900.

MADE GOODS ABOVE THOSE MADE IN AMERICA, THUS GIVING AMERICAN
MANUFACTURES PROTECTION AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE A GUARANTEED
PROFIT.
