North Question 1 - What facts can you gather about the advances in the Industrial Revolution, is it a good effect or bad? Answer : Advances in technology would definitly improve their economy, even the whole North Region itself. Improving technology gives more choices to people and also give more oppertunities to people. New industries and factory businesses create more jobs for people, such as the Textile Industry. Another major event that had happened during this time period was the idea of "Elements of Mass Production" which concluded in four different parts; interchangeable parts, machine tools, division of labor, and mass produced goods. Adding more industries to an economy makes the economy improve alot better, in all social, economic, and even political. Sadly at this time, factories were very tough on people, accidents happened everyday. The pay wasn't good at all, and kids at young ages had to work in the factories, not by being forced but everyone needed a job. And they were thankful for being free unlike the slaves in the south.

North Question 2 - How can you compare the different parts of society during these events of the north? Answer : Northern people are what i'd consider to be "Higher Class" people. Jobs were huge with factories and different industries. Mulitiple goods were produced, and slavery was NOT believed in, as it was in the south. The conditions of working in a factory are or were probably highly more dangeous. But you were getting paid, unlike a slave. Most people would consider themselves and others as being lucky, considering not to even think about the flaws of working in a dangerous factory.

North Question 3 - What was the most important economic change in the north? Why was it most important? Explain. Answer : I believe that the water frame was the most important piece of machinery and change in the North. This piece of equipment was run off by water which is actually a very good source of energy, because you can't really run out of water. And considering the North has a good source of water or rainful, its easy to have this as a source of energy! The water frame could produce dozens if cotton strands at the same exact time ..Which back then was an amazing discovering of an invention. This process could save them days of time and work, and make double as much! This also had an improvment on the textile industry, and improved the speed of that process. This could also improve clothing that was made. I think this is a really important change because it improved so many peoples lifestyle, and could impact the speed of working.

South Question 1 - Compare the North and the South, where would you want to live based on the facts? Answer : Both sides of North and South certainly had their differences and both sides also had similarities. Their beliefs were probably the most different, as impacting free people and then slaves. Both sides had to have people working with their hands, even though in the North machinery was doing the work, the people had to make the machines work efficiently and properly, North and South also had many flaws from eachother, they believed in different things and accidents happened everyday in the North with the deal of having the work in a factory and the safety issues. The lack of safety that those kids had to go through was terrible, Exspecially when the starting age for working in a factory was at age 10 or 11. Based off the facts that ive learned about in reading about the North and the South, I would want to live in the North,

South Question 2 - If slaves were carried on throughout today, what would our country be like? How would it change politically? Answer : One of the most popular rights that we have today is "freedom of speech" and it allows us to speak our own opinion. With that if slaves were still in contact today, i dont think US would even be together anymore. Seperate states are going to think and believe what they want, nobody agrees on everything. And it usually ends up in being a debate, so the states in the US would probably break apart, Some people would support having slaves, maybe in an area where farming was huge and they needed people to do the work. But with that again, others would find that taking advatage of people is wrong and forcing them to work for you with nothing in return is a horrible idea, And with freedom of speech, you're allowed to tell people that you're against it. Another thing that could be carried on today is that back then slaves were african americans, and white people were on top. So if slaves were carried on throughout today we wouldnt have our president Barack Obama.

South Question 3 - What pros and cons would their be if we only had a one crop industry? Answer : If we had only a one crop industry we'd be paying alot more for extra things that we needed in our life. We'd be paying high prices towards everything else, because anything else that we wanted would be from another country. Life for many people would be majorly different, exspecially with prices and people bring able to aford things and not. But the good thing about having a one crop industry is that you'd "specialize" in that crop. That way if anybody else from another country were to need it, they'd come for you. And even though people dont like taxes, you could make taxes very high and make alot of money! Needing the correct machinery in order to make or fertalize your crop is very important also, you want something that will be very efficient and will improve the speed of working,
