VIDEO DESCRIPTION
In the early 1800s in the United States, increased industrialization was a major portion of the Market Revolution as a result of the Industrial Revolution that had started in Britain. The Market Revolution would turn the United States into a capitalist society and gave many people more opportunities. Roads, canals, and bridges were built throughout the country. Journeys that used to take weeks were shortened to days. The west was open for exploration. Unfortunately, during this time period, the north and south would become more divided. More and more northern states gradually abolished the institution of slavery while the south became more dependent on it. Immigration would also greatly increase, and Irish, Germans, and Jews were not always welcomed. And, the gap between the rich and poor would continue to widen.
