During this time period the average American family lived produced just enough of what they needed to survive in the environment they lived in at the time. The market revolution and everything happened during this time period showed and pushed farmers to push into the open market and get more produce moving throughout the coutntry. This not only gave millions of people income by buying and selling more goods, but we also need to evolve the workforce. By increasing the demand and need for food and cotton(two things heavily produced at the time), we needed more workers, giving even more people the opportunity to work. These factory jobs were not glamorous but they were the backbone to the booming economy, allowing us to grow as a Nation. The country not only had to build the factories they worked at, but this era paved the way for the railroads to be put down. The railroads connected the land and made it easy to send and recive shipements of goods. The “Mill Girls” who played a vital role in these factories operating were looked down upon in there hometown communities because in that time women did not work in factories, but as times changed we realized our ignorance and slowly but surely got the female population into the American workforce. This to me was the biggest plus of the Industrialization period, although not a direct outcome, it paved the way for equal work and employment opportunities.
