Native americans stole things from the cowboys. Native americans didn’t like the settlers on their land.  Industrial Revolution, was from 1760-1840. UK was the farthest ahead of the countries with new stuff, because they had more resources, population. Last year was the early  1900 . The takeoff for the revolutions was more workers, and more factories being built. Negatives, were they needed lots of work, so kids had to work a lot. Inventions: water wheel, steam engine, typewriter, telegraph, light bulb. Rail road in 1753. Brought lost of change. Biggest railroads Baltimore and Ohio. 1830, railroad company.

This are just quick notes I took when the internet was out.  Cade is gone so we have to keep moving on.

Mr. Bruns has to talk about populist.

The populist were farmers factory workers, and people that weren't rich. It was now as the party. Farmers were always in debt, because of their machinery and rail roads. Farmers had a love hate relationship to rail roads. They were trying to help people get their voice out. Rich white males were the dominate people. Direct election is allowing the state people to elect who the senator is. The presidents got single terms. you got a secret ballot so know one knew who you voted for. 8 hour work day. They don't want immigrants. Populist were about helping people out.

Things that helped the industrial revolution was tons of resources, government helped business, cities growing, cheap labor, oil boom, and cheap ways to make products.
