the railroad industry:–Railroads stimulated the coal,
petroleum, iron, steel industries–Large companies bought small
railroads, standardized gauges & schedules, & pooled cars
–Railroad expansion into the West allowed the antebellum “market revolution” to grow
Eastern RRs were connected to the West by 4 great trunk lines

New Forms of Business Organization
■Corporations in the Gilded Age used mergers to increase profits
–Companies used horizontal integration to buy similar companies to reduce competition
–Vertical integration allowed companies to buy companies that supply raw materials or transportation for their products
![Page 23: ■Essential Question ■Essential Question: –What factors led to the rise of the American Industrial Revolution from 1870 to 1900? ■Warm-Up Question: –Examine](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e695503460f94b65a3e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Monopolies■Corporate mergers led to giant
companies called monopolies:–Companies that control nearly
all of a particular industry –Because most monopolies of
the Gilded Age were run by boards of trustees, monopolies became known as “trusts”
–Monopolies led to a new generation of U.S. millionaires
![Page 25: ■Essential Question ■Essential Question: –What factors led to the rise of the American Industrial Revolution from 1870 to 1900? ■Warm-Up Question: –Examine](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e695503460f94b65a3e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
U.S. Corporate Mergers

33% of all industry

The Monopolists■Andrew Carnegie
created the Carnegie Steel Company:–He converted to the
Bessemer process & was able to out-produce his competition & offer better quality steel at lower prices
–He mastered vertical integration to lower his production costs
His company made more steel than all the factories
of Great Britain
![Page 27: ■Essential Question ■Essential Question: –What factors led to the rise of the American Industrial Revolution from 1870 to 1900? ■Warm-Up Question: –Examine](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e695503460f94b65a3e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Andrew Carnegie’s rise from a poor
Scottish immigrant to
one of the richest men in the world
was the great example of the
“American Dream”
Carnegie did not pay his employees very much & did not allow unions in
his factories…
…but he was a philanthropist who gave money to New York City
libraries, colleges, & performing arts institutions

The Monopolists■John Rockefeller created
the Standard Oil Company –He used horizontal
integration to create a petroleum company that monopolized the oil industry, lowered costs & improved quality
–By 1879, Standard Oil sold 90% of all U.S. oil & sold to Asia, Africa, & South America
![Page 29: ■Essential Question ■Essential Question: –What factors led to the rise of the American Industrial Revolution from 1870 to 1900? ■Warm-Up Question: –Examine](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e695503460f94b65a3e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Rockefeller was labeled a “robber baron” who took
advantage of immigrant
workers, driving his competition
out of business, & used his fortune to influence the national gov’t…
…but Rockefeller gave away $500 million to charities, created the Rockefeller
Foundation, & founded the University of Chicago

The Monopolists■Monopolists justified their wealth:
–The “Gospel of WealthGospel of Wealth” argued that it is God's will that some men attained great wealth
–Social DarwinismSocial Darwinism taught that natural competition weeds out the weak & the strong survive
–Gov’t should embrace a laissez-laissez-fairefaire (hands off, no regulations) attitude towards “big business”

Conclusions
■Due to the Industrial Revolution:
–The United States led the world in industry, innovation, & wealth
–Laissez-faire gov’t policies & new business tactics led to monopolies
–But the gap between the wealthy monopolists & their poor immigrant workers grew wider

Robber Barons or Captains of Industry?
■Were the industrial capitalists of the Gilded Age good or bad for America?–Weigh the positive & negative
effects of the industrialists –Take a stand & support your
argument
