All about 3 topics.

ASummary
The beginning of reconstruction was around in 1863, but freedmen would like to grow crops like corns and sweet potatoes instead of cotton. Even government guided several laws to require people to plant cotton as wage labors. During the reconstruction, in the late of 1865, the action of abolishing slavery was in anywhere in U.S. and provided education to the Black, but the government also setted up vagrancy laws to restrict black mobility. When Johnson assumed the presidency, he did hold the racist view and opposed to the freedmen. However, Johnson was removed ultimately by radical republicans. Of the 14th and 15th amendments, they firmed the rights of black. Finally, the reconstruction ended along with the election of 1876.
The Industrial Revolution was sparked mostly because either key raw material lead to grow urban workforces or few restraints on biz were controlled by Governments. During this period, railroads was the original biz which took few advantages like issuing stocks to other enterprises, and employed thousands of workers. Then the steel co. was really successful run by Andrew Garnegie who offered 2 corporation managements. To advance sells, the consumption of advertising was really large and prevail, and Irish immigrant condensed a huge selection of goods to create a first department store. Gradually, this sort of market developed into rural America, even the whole world. Next, the new technical machines replaced high-waged workers so that employees suffered a plenty of difficulties, and more females joined in several jobs on account of economic necessity and a desire for greater independence. What’s more, this revolution promoted the poor alleviated, but it raised certain strikes by workers so that the gaps between the rich and poor are debated.
   In the late 19th century, few women accepted the college education for middle-class women so that they won the rights to vote as leaders, and they were called “New Women”.
BOpinions
  The reconstruction changed the level of Black in the whole society. These freedmen avoided planting cotton and owned their own choice. Even though some political conflicts happened, the agriculture advanced well. The economy of U.S. was not only developed by agriculture , also these industrial trades. The industrial revolution boosted the economy growth especially the railroad that was the original business. In order to curb the business, the government controlled the authority and listed few strict regulations. Moreover, the high competition and large market employed huge number of workers so that they suffered a lot like long-hour work, low wages, dangerous workplace etc. Even some children under 16 years old joined in these work. However, this period provided a good opportunity for the women. They also can go outside to work because of economic necessity even though they only received half or less of man’s wages. Anyway, some philanthropic like Carnegie raised funds, and improved the poor. So the labor unions uphold the rights of employees. Overall, in my opinions , the level of women could be raised again and the proper role of governments on economy should be improved. So in the late 19th century, more high educated women had joined in suffrage that let the president of certain country is women like the vice premier of Swiss.

This development noted key elements of automatic technology. As this convenient transportation boosted the public’s demands for long-distance traveling, it also needed the further roads. Because of this, some skills and accessories like pneumatic tire were adopted into the latter inventions of motor vehicles maybe even airplanes. One of the famous brand name of the motor bicycle was Benz which was entitled by the first successful gasoline-powered motor vehicles’ inventor. These changes made the foundation of present society.
