Grinding Its Help
The American Industrial Revolution began in New England, and the textile industry led the way. The first successful mill built in Pawtucket, Rhode Island adopted family labor where a division of labor based on the age and gender of the individual emerged: children worked in the mill, men worked on farms or at other traditional jobs, and most women remained in the home. By the mid nineteenth century, this labor system could be found throughout sou…
(S)he Conquers Who Endures”
This essay explores the intersection of gender and class in the making of the new “high brow” culture of the late nineteenth century, represented by the matriarch of Bristol, Rhode Island, Theodora Goujaud DeWolf Colt. Through her poetry and salons, Theodora, like other wealthy women of the time, helped fashion a new bourgeois culture, which, though centered in New York and Boston, radiated outward to the smaller cities of the U.S., such as Brist…
Brian Phillips Murphy. Building the Empire State
Since its inception, the U.S. government has questioned its role in economic development. Under U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, Congress approved a national bank, passed legislation to establish national armories, and considered the feasibility of supporting new manufacturing enterprises. In 1791, Hamilton, along with other politicians and businessmen, secured a charter from New Jersey to establish the Society for Establishing …
Christopher F. Jones. Routes of Power
America's interest in energy issues such as global warming, renewable and non-renewable fuels, and the construction of transmission systems such as the Keystone XL pipeline are acute. Mineral-based supplies of coal and oil are finite, and studies note that such resources pollute the atmosphere, alter the ecosystem, and despoil the landscape. Yet Americans resist change. They want to turn on their lights, gas up their cars, and heat and air condit…

Twentieth Century Limited
The Merchant, the Manufacturer, and the Factory Manager
Early textile enterprises faced no trends with greater reluctance than the integration of operations within a single factory and, considerably later, the assignment of formerly family-dominated, entrepreneurial functions to hired factory agents. Samuel Slater, the classic pioneer of factory production of textile yarns, was slow to accept these trends, and only the obvious inability of either him or his family to cope with a rapidly growing and ch…
