Section #1: Thesis Statements
During the Industrial Revolution of 1790 - 1825, the government safeguarded small businesses, increased the production of transportation, and allowed the free flow of trade from state to state, which is what made the revolution so successful.
The Industrial Revolution was a major factor in American history that occurred from 1790 to 1825, and the government spurred this reaction by lending loans, increasing the transportation speed, and by creating jobs for unmarried women.
During the Industrial Revolution, between 1790 and 1825, the government played the role of providing the financial aid industries and businesses needed. It also allowed free and easier flow of trade between the states, and increased transportation volume and speed out of and around of the country.
The government played the role of a facilitator during the Industrial Revolution by assisting the growth of industry through internal improvements, protecting businesses through decisions such as the ruling made in Dartmouth College v Woodward, and promoting interstate commerce by regulating the restrictions on trade. [reduce details, probably should say 'regulating (reducing) interstate restrictions on trade']
The role of the government from 1790-1825 was to help guide and support native industry and business, to help insure a more stable finance of the nation, creating a more unified country with trade and better transportation networks. [remove 'native', question about 'guide', 'which created', maybe add 'and' to creating, more unified 'due to' better trade...]
During the Industrial Revolution which took place in America between 1790 and 1825, the government aided new businesses through financial aid, improved transportation across the developing country, and created easier methods of trade throughout the states.
The Industrial Revolution, which took place between 1790 and 1825, was a time of tremendous change and new ideas in the fragile economy of the United States. The government promoted the growth of industry by sponsoring internal transportation improvements, encouraging trade between states, and giving protection to businesses under the rulings of the Supreme Court.
The period of early industrialization between 1790 and 1825 was spurred onward by the government's improvement of transportation, measures encouraging investors to take risks, and support of the industrial capitalist ideals that drove much of the economic development of the period. [maybe more specific, but so far so good]
The Government played an essential and necessary role in the industrial revolution, not only in the promoting of interstate trade, but in the National Bank as a support of new businesses and in the federally funded growth of transportation throughout the United States.
The period of American history known as the Industrial Revolution, which took place between 1790 and 1825, was a time of many government induced changes for the young country; including improving transportation, promoting interstate trade, and providing aid for small businesses.
The role the government played during the Industrial Revolution of 1790-1825 included loaning capital to businesses, increasing transportation services, and removing state barriers to business growth. [WOWEE!]
During the time of 1790 to 1825, known as the Industrial Revolution, the government played a role in developing and improving transportation, promoting interstate trade by limiting the market of foreign goods, and providing aid for small businesses causing the manufacturing business to grow. [not just small businesses, 'causing...' and 'by limiting' doesn't need to be included in thesis - can go into the essay, 'aid' could be more specific]
During the time of the 1790-1825 Industrial Revolution, the federal government played a role in; promoting interstate commerce, increasing, and improving on transportation, limiting the flow of foreign goods, and providing aid for small businesses.
The role the American government played during the Industrial Revolution from 1790-1825 was that a protector of the expanding fragile economy. Also prompting interstate trade, advocating American made goods by limiting on foreign imports, unifying and connecting the country for economic needs through railroad’s and canals, and creating safeguards for new found business.
During the Industrial Revolution, from 1790 to 1825, the role of the Government was in improving transportation, limiting foreign trade which in turn promoted interstate trade, and aiding small businesses.
The Roots of Industrial Revolution were monitored and expedited by U.S. Government through Supreme Court decisions concerning cases like Gibbons v. Ogden, promotion of internal affairs and trade, and stimulation of Upper Class Citizens to facilitate and invest in the new Era of Business and Industry Growth.
The government played and important role during the Industrial Revolution from 1790 to 1825 such as limiting the foreign trade and allowing trade between states, allowing more work for woman in the factories, increasing transportation, and providing the financial aid to businesses and companies in need of it.
The American government played a large and important role during the Industrial Revolution (1790-1825), it protected the expanding fragile economy, prompted interstate trade, promoting American made goods by limiting on foreign imports, bringing the country together for economic needs via railroad’s and canals, and creating safeguards for new found businesses, which made more people come up with inventions knowing that if it failed they would not be shafted.

3.) Pamela Racine Document A: Alexander Hamilton, Report on the Public Credit, January 9, 1790
This document shows that by helping the public credit the government could help the economy, and that these steps are similar to the Industrial Revolution. It also states the benefits of helping the public credit, like extending trade, promoting manufacturing and lowering the interest of money. So the government helped the growth of the Industrial Revolution by helping the public credit.
Document C: John C. Calhoun Insists on Free Trade, 1811
This document fights for free trade without government interference because trade with foreign countries has helped the agriculture of the U.S. This is another way that our economy grew.
Leslie Reis Document E: Supreme Court Case-Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824
This decision stated that the government had the power to regulate interstate commerce which was a way they contributed to the Industrial Revolution
Document G: Supreme Court Case Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819
This decision showed how the government was willing encouraging enterprise by showing anyone who would consider starting a business that their contracts would be viewed as valid and would be protected.
Tyler Wilkinson-
Document F: Supreme Court Case McCullough v. Maryland, 1819-
this decision made the courts put claims to the side that Congress had done too much by chartering the Second Bank of America, and no state had the power to tax a part of the nationally chartered bank.
Document B: Alexander Hamilton, Report on the Subject of Manufactures, December 5, 1791-
This report by A-Ham stated that he wanted taxes on imported European goods, which caused a lot more internal trading for cheaper prices. This also protected America's infant industries and to promote economic growth.
James Racine-
Document D : It is made clear that the Secretary of the Treasury has control of the National Bank, and since the National Bank's ability to give out loans in order to start businesses and other endeavors was one of the reasons for the Industrial Revolution, the governments hand in this cannot be ignored.
Document H: The picture shows a town that is making quite a picking off of the Erie Canal- a government funded project. This and other canals helped connect goods to market, helping to spread the Market and Industrial Revolutions.
Jessica Jacintho
Document G (Dartmouth v. Woodward): States cannot interfere or revise contracts of private colleges (businesses). This means that businesses had protection under the federal government for their land, economic, and employee contracts. That caused them to be more stable which brought them more investors, more innovation, and more profit.
Document B (Report on Manufacturing): Division of labor, use of machinery, spirit of enterprise, increased agriculture. This means that people should start using more machinery to make things and they should not specialize their labor unlike previous times, when you had to know a specific skill in order to be productive. Hamilton advocated the idea of modern manufacturing where it took 15 people to put together a pair of shoes instead of one person. Also, people would be more innovative and the population of cities would increase, which would increase the need for agriculture.
Robert Krupa
Document G (Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819): This Supreme Court case decision declared that state legislatures would not be able to interfere with private business contracts. This gave the businesses protection over their workers, land and property. Many business owners, after hearing this, began to run their businesses differently. Document G could be used to show that, although the government was indeed involved in the events of the Industrial Revolution, they did draw the line somewhere.
Document H (Lockport on the Erie Canal): Document H is an artist's rendition of a lockport on the Erie Canal. The canal, built by the government, was used to transport products around the country. Document H can be used to show the social and economic changes that the country went through because of these canals, and how small towns and villages began to appear beside them.
Greg Larsen
Document B: Alexander Hamilton, Report on the Subject of Manufactures, December 5, 1791
Hamilton was highly influential in the government in his position as Secretary of the Treasury, shows his of industrial capitalist ideals such as the division of labor and extensive use of machinery. These ideals helped motivate people into making, investing in, and working in factories. This document creates evidence for the government promoting them.
Document G: Supreme Court Case Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819
This part of the case findings interprets the Constitution as defending the right to contract for companies. This meant that a state could not take away a corporation's charter. This allowed the businesses to grow more, because they did not have to worry about having their license to exist revoked because they made decisions that displeased the state governments.
Monica Vaconcelos
Document B - Alexander Hamilton's Report on Manufactures : In this report, Hamilton is stressing the importance of the progress of industries. He states that industrialization is necessary to increase revenue and strenghten the economy. His report also states that with the growing population, it is necessary to expand the variety of occupations. Hamilton suggests that if a person is appointed to a single job, his thoughts will progress, thus improving technology and the ways of labor, as opposed to being occupied by a variety of jobs and concentrating on said jobs. You may use this document to show how the government supported the industrialization movement.
Document F- McCullough v. Maryland : In this Supreme Court case, the law passed by Maryland's legislature to tax the Bank of the United States was declared unconstitutional and void. This is because the Supreme Court found in unconstitutional to tax something that is employed by the government to carry out its power. You may use this document to show the taxes the government may or may not have imposed during the time of the Industrial Revolution, what they saw fit to tax, and how the un-taxation of governementaly employed organizations effected the Industrial Revolution.
Taran Riggs-Hart
Document C. Calhoun clearly supports the free market and foreign and its importance to the new Era. It also shows the feelings of the Working Class on the subject of trade and few individuals controlling it.
Document A. Hamilton is in defense of assumption of public credit by the government. Claiming trade would boost, Agriculture and Manufacture would be promoted, and interest lowered. Insisting the government could help Industrialization.

Transportation- roads were improved, with extensive canals and buildings, increase of railroads, and also the use of steamboats to facilitate travel on water
Capitol Investments and Loans- Investments were made by European investors, and also United States investors; insurance companies funded capitol to economic enterprises. Government support in local, state, and national legislatures gave loans favoring and given to enterprises. Lead to factories and eventually, standardization.
Exploitation of women- women were exploited, women decided to work, and to work cheaply. It allowed economic independence, since the decline of home manufacturing, there were also better wages then their own old domestic services. There was also a supportive environment that they lived in.

Report on the Subject of Manufacturers, by Alexander Hamilton-called 4 tariffs, limiting foreign trade, bounties to increase commercial agriculture, and called for roads and lighthouses, a start for the 'transportation revolution.'
Transportation- New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinnois, and Virginia publicly financed more than 75% of the canal systems in their states from 1815 to 1860 (from the book, p.326)
Specific important transportation routes: Eerie Canal- 363 miles long, ran from NY to the Great Lakes, to Northwest
National Road- from Maryland to Illinois
Transportation helped transport goods around country allowing farmers to focus on only growing crops that are most suitable to their land and buying other necessities from markets.
Increasing buisness ventures- Second Bank of the U.S, tax breaks for
Palmer vs. Mulligan- gave rights to property owners to build up new land for business purposes

Document D : It is made clear that the Secretary of the Treasury has control of the National Bank, and since the National Bank's ability to give out loans in order to start businesses and other endeavors was one of the reasons for the Industrial Revolution, the governments hand in this cannot be ignored.
Document H: The picture shows a town that is making quite a picking off of the Erie Canal- a government funded project. This and other canals helped connect goods to market, helping to spread the Market and Industrial Revolutions.

Document G (Dartmouth v. Woodward): States cannot interfere or revise contracts of private colleges (businesses). This means that businesses had protection under the federal government for their land, economic, and employee contracts. That caused them to be more stable which brought them more investors, more innovation, and more profit.
Document B (Report on Manufacturing): Division of labor, use of machinery, spirit of enterprise, increased agriculture. This means that people should start using more machinery to make things and they should not specialize their labor unlike previous times, when you had to know a specific skill in order to be productive. Hamilton advocated the idea of modern manufacturing where it took 15 people to put together a pair of shoes instead of one person. Also, people would be more innovative and the population of cities would increase, which would increase the need for agriculture.

Document G (Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819): This Supreme Court case decision declared that state legislatures would not be able to interfere with private business contracts. This gave the businesses protection over their workers, land and property. Many business owners, after hearing this, began to run their businesses differently. Document G could be used to show that, although the government was indeed involved in the events of the Industrial Revolution, they did draw the line somewhere.
Document H (Lockport on the Erie Canal): Document H is an artist's rendition of a lockport on the Erie Canal. The canal, built by the government, was used to transport products around the country. Document H can be used to show the social and economic changes that the country went through because of these canals, and how small towns and villages began to appear beside them.

Document B: Alexander Hamilton, Report on the Subject of Manufactures, December 5, 1791
Hamilton was highly influential in the government in his position as Secretary of the Treasury, shows his of industrial capitalist ideals such as the division of labor and extensive use of machinery. These ideals helped motivate people into making, investing in, and working in factories. This document creates evidence for the government promoting them.
Document G: Supreme Court Case Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819
This part of the case findings interprets the Constitution as defending the right to contract for companies. This meant that a state could not take away a corporation's charter. This allowed the businesses to grow more, because they did not have to worry about having their license to exist revoked because they made decisions that displeased the state governments.

Document B - Alexander Hamilton's Report on Manufactures : In this report, Hamilton is stressing the importance of the progress of industries. He states that industrialization is necessary to increase revenue and strenghten the economy. His report also states that with the growing population, it is necessary to expand the variety of occupations. Hamilton suggests that if a person is appointed to a single job, his thoughts will progress, thus improving technology and the ways of labor, as opposed to being occupied by a variety of jobs and concentrating on said jobs. You may use this document to show how the government supported the industrialization movement.
Document F- McCullough v. Maryland : In this Supreme Court case, the law passed by Maryland's legislature to tax the Bank of the United States was declared unconstitutional and void. This is because the Supreme Court found in unconstitutional to tax something that is employed by the government to carry out its power. You may use this document to show the taxes the government may or may not have imposed during the time of the Industrial Revolution, what they saw fit to tax, and how the un-taxation of governementaly employed organizations effected the Industrial Revolution.

Document C. Calhoun clearly supports the free market and foreign and its importance to the new Era. It also shows the feelings of the Working Class on the subject of trade and few individuals controlling it.
Document A. Hamilton is in defense of assumption of public credit by the government. Claiming trade would boost, Agriculture and Manufacture would be promoted, and interest lowered. Insisting the government could help Industrialization.

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea if everyone typed up long edits in another window before actually editing the page? It would cut down on edit conflicts because all that would be required is a simple copy and paste from the other window instead of scrolling through pages upon pages to try to find the spot you were putting your edit in under the system the wiki has. When they do occur, they would be easier to fix because the person with the long edit could just discard the change on the actual page and copy the text from the other window. For those of you who haven't run into one yet, edit conflicts happen when one person edits the page at the same time another person does.
