 * 1) The war between the bosses and the workers took place during the late, desperate 1800s and well into the early 1900s. For one thing, they didn’t have a safe working environment and worked for less money. Even though this was very hard, more people worked than go to school because they needed money while others who did wanted good jobs and respect. But parents were concerned about the children’s health and worried about going to jail. Because of that, usually rich people went to school, but only their boys went to college. But thanks to the law passed in the 1950s, bosses and workers of any gender are now at a very comfortable pace together. **

**4), 5) and 6 Families in the revolution worked six days a week (Monday-Saturday) and people during the Industrial Revolution made and wore what they ate. Farming was easy during the revolution. Cotton cloth helped form the Industrial Revolution, like how so many people wanted cotton cloth, that good weavers, mill girls and slaves couldn’t produce enough of it. Cotton was used for a lot of things that America needed. For example, cotton was used in clothing. Eli Whitney helped make mill girls’ jobs easier by making the Cotton Gin which cleaned cotton (that was one of the many machines that Eli Whitney built). Eli Whitney also built muskets with interchangeable parts with replaceable pieces.** America started to use railroad tracks instead of canals which were used to help boats travel. The Industrial Revolution did a lot to affect America as much as it did.

Inventions got more luxurious and pretty. The trains were very pretty and then they slowly fell. They became ugly because we didn’t care for them anymore. We take things for granted, but back then they were thankful for what they had. We don’t care about what we have, all we want is more. 5)  David Vasquez

** Transcontinental Railroad **

The Transcontinental railroad was built by a large group of Chinese and Americans. The Chinese were actually doing a great job by the end of the year there were 70 Chinese working on the railroad. While they were building the railroad the Native Americans weren’t happy about the tracks on their land so they brought together all group of Natives to fight the workers. But, that was only one problem, another problem is that the government held a race between the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, the prize was the company that traveled the furthest wins the most money. The Central Pacific won and they used the money to buy more items for the tracks to be longer.
