Rockefeller  \nChapter Objective, Essential Questions, & TEKS  \n• Objective:  \n• Identify and analyze the major characteristics of the Gilded Age such as social issues, industrialization, scientific discoveries, and the contributions of significant political and social leaders.  \n• Essential Questions:  \n• What factors encouraged American economic growth in the decades after the Civil War?  \n• How did workers fare in the new industrial America?  \n• Could workers have improved their working conditions without organizing labor unions?  \n• How did industrialization bring both positive and negative changes?  \n• TEKS:  \n• History: 2 (A), 2 (B), 2 (C), 3 (B), 3 (C)  \n• Economics: 15 (B)  \n• Citizenship: 24 (B)  \n• Culture: 26 (A)  \n• Science, Technology, & Society: 27 (A)  \nChapter Vocabulary  \n• Bessemer Process  \n• Transcontinental Railroad  \n• Alexander Graham Bell  \n• Telephone  \n• Thomas Edison  \n• Free Enterprise System  \n• National Market  \n• Corporation  \n• Entrepreneur  \n• Gilded Age  \n• Captain of Industry  \n• Robber Baron  \n• Andrew Carnegie  \n• Philanthropy  \n• John D.

Sewing machine, typewriter. telegraph, telephone, oil well, and electricity-all contributed to America's economic progress.  \n• The Transcontinental Railroad was first completed in 1869 . It made it possible to travel to California. Additional railroad construction created a demand for steel and tied the country together, creating a truly national market from coast to coast.  \n• The free enterprise system encouraged entrepreneurs to develop new industries and expand them. Population growth, the rise of the corporate form of business, and the skills of entrepreneurs also contributed to America's economic growth.  \n• Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and other successful entrepreneurs helped organize and increase production.  \n• Andrew Carnegie bought iron ore fields, coal mines and ships to have complete control over the production of steel. He kept wages low and spent millions on philanthropy.  \nImportant Ideas  \n• John D. Rockefeller made his fortune relining oil. He obtained secret, beneficial rates from train companies, giving him a competitive advantage.  \n• Under the system of laissez-faire, government took a ''hands-off\" policy towards business. Nevertheless, the government promoted economic growth by providing a system of laws to protect property and enforce contract, regulating currency and interstate trade. and imposing tariff duties on foreign goods.  \n• Workers faced difficult conditions in industrial America. Most were unskilled and spent long day.., at boring, repetitive tasks for low wages. They also lacked any job security. Working conditions were often unhealthy or hazardous.  \n• Workers tried to bargain collectively by forming unions, which occasionally went out on strike temporarily refusing to work.  \n• The Knights of Labor tried to unite all American workers. both skilled and unskilled, into one national labor union, but this was not successful.  \n• The American Federation of Labor (A. F. of L. ) led by Samuel Gompers, was a national federation of different craft unions of skilled workers.  \nTechnological Innovations  \n• American industrialization proceeded at a rapid pace in the decades after the Civil War. Some historians consider this period America's\"Second Industrial Revolution.“  \n• New inventions and technologies helped fuel the great economic expansion of the late nineteenth century.
