The turn of the 19th century:
science- the theory of evolution was the study of finches and orchide were the impetus for it
advanced- scientific discoveries of the late nineteenth century were used to make general improvements in the quality of life. rapid growth of hospitals. they were founded in britian.
19th century science-anthropology, archeology and cell biology were created.
discoveries- the periodic table is a tabular display of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic number, electron configurations, and chemical properties.
medicine-was a time of war and unrest in the US as well as Europe. one benefit of war, in any age, has seen the advancement of medicine as wounds sustained on the battlefield have to be treated. controlling bleeding infection, and pain were developed on 19th century battlefields as well.
diseases- packing people together in a small area with dwindling resources is just asking for rampant disease. due to the high prices of property and the low pay many workers earned, many people in urban centers couldn't afford hygienic material or medicine.
19th century- inventors began to design practical internal combustion engines. the assembly line produced a lot of goods during this time and was invented during this time.
technology- in 1837 samuel morse invented the telegraph. telegraph is just long distance messaging without physical exchange of an object. samuel was named after the morse code. industrialize and urban expansion helped shape america what it is today. the population boom is small urban areas put a huge strain on housing developers. tenements weren't much better than living on the street. whole families crammed themselves into small units barely. it was about working long hours for little pay and it was about family owned businesses to big businesses.
what happened- some of the immediate results included growing slums, increased population densities and increased crime because of jealousy pretty much.
manufacturing- the north really focused on the industry and the south was a lot more agricultural. southern states became dependent on sources of cheap labor because slave labor had been tolerated before. lincoln's emancipation proclamation was meant to attack the economics of the south, it wasnt all about racial equality.
