About American Industry Tour
From 1776 to 1945, the United States transformed from an agrarian country of 2½ million inhabitants to the world's leading superpower, and the home of 140 million people. Most feats of innovation and engineering happened in the north-east. However, the Industrial Revolution began in theUnited Kingdom, which held eastern North America as a colony (seeEarly United States history). In the Market Revolution during the early 19th century, the textile business was an early adopter of industrial processes. From the mid-19th century, steam-powered factories became more common, and railroads started replacing canals and roads as main transport routes. During theAmerican Civil War, the industries of the Northeast were mobilized to produce arms, supplies and ships, contributing to the Union victory.
