Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial History of the United States The industrial development of the United States has followed lines similar to those of European nations, - advancing slowly up to the end of the eighteenth century and after that gathering greater speed and momentum. Here, as in Europe, the growth has been accompanied by the use of machinery, by specialization, division of labor, concentration, growing complexity of organization, and, finally, by an increasing degree of public control. This text follows a topical rather than a chronological method of treatment. Nevertheless, allowing for an inevitable overlapping of events, it seems possible to distinguish four major periods of development, roughly divided as follows: (1) the colonial period of simple domestic economy and of dependence upon foreign trade, extending from the beginnings of permanent settlements to 1763; (2) the period of transition from colonial to national economic life, 1763 to about 1825; (3) the period of national consolidation and isolation, 1825 to 1860; and (4) a period of readjustment, marked by combination and organization growing out of severe competition, by public regulation of industry, and by all the new problems resulting from the closing of the frontier. The text emphasizes three principal ideas, foremost among which is the effect upon a people of centuries of a constantly moving frontier. It is difficult to estimate the influence of the fact that since the beginnings of American history every day has been "moving day" for large numbers of the people. They went into the West, crude, untamed, unshackled by tradition, out of touch with the old home culture, and often out of the reach of regularly established law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Economic History of the United States The purpose of this book is not to rehearse the events common to political and constitutional histories of the United States, but rather to emphasize the points neglected by them. The keynote of all American history, from whatever standpoint it may be written, is found in the efforts of a virile and ener getic people to appropriate and develop the wonderful natural resources of a new continent and there to realize their ideals of liberty and government. The economic history of the United States is largely the story of the achievements of a people working under free competition, untrammeled by custom, tradition, or political limitations, and whose changing conditions of environment constantly compelled new adapta tions and promoted ingenuity and energy of character. The history of this economic struggle is not one whit less interesting or dramatic than the political history of the same period, while it is absolutely essential to a thorough understanding of the latter.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial History of the Negro Race of the United States Every race has its history written by its own members. This, to our mind, is a special reason why the Negro should have a history of himself, written by members of his own race, and that history should be taught in the schools of the youth of the race. As history can be best gleaned from his industrial progress, the writers of this book feel that a history, showing the strides made by the race along industrial lines, would prove most beneficial, not only to the adult, but especially to the youth. The information furnished through the medium of this book could not be obtained through any other source or combination of sources; for the reason that the authors have spent large sums of money and labored for more than four years, to secure it. Giles B. Jackson has been engaged for a number of years in the practice of law among his people, and in this capacity has come in contact with every element of his people, and is thus well prepared to speak of them from close contact. He was the promoter of the Jamestown Negro Exhibit, whose successful history is known to all the world. In this arduous duty he traveled from one end of the country to the other, and met the leading men and women in their own localities, studying the industrial history and progress of his people, and thus it can be readily seen he is well prepared to speak upon many phases of this great subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in the Economic History of the United States The need of providing large college classes with collateral reading in a course on the economic history of the United States has led to the preparation of this book. Its purpose has therefore been pri marily to provide a sufficient body of material to supplement the more systematic text book and lectures. This material has, with only one or two exceptions, been drawn from contemporary sources; in the later periods, with the growing wealth of such material, Official documents have been largely used. But in every period these documents have been supplemented by the more human and the more illuminating comments of travelers, Observers, and others who were entitled to speak authoritatively. Where controversial matters have been treated, every effort has been made to present both sides fairly. In the face of the great amount of material available for such a work as this the main task of the editors has necessarily been one of selection, and in performing this task they have endeavored to present a comprehensive yet balanced picture of the economic activities and development of each period. Agriculture, manufactures, tariff, com merce, transportation, money and banking, labor, and the movement of the population have, each in turn, been given due emphasis in the panoramic picture here unfolded. AS among the different periods it is believed that a balance has been maintained that will commend itself to teachers of American history. TO the period from 1600 to 1808 about one fourth of the book is devoted; one half to that from 1808 to 1860; and the remaining fourth to the period since the Civil War.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industry and Trade: Historical and Descriptive Account of Their Development in the United States It will not be long before every school student is out in the world. That is what he or she is getting ready for during the school years. There is a living to make and a life to lead, and all must get into the game. But it is poor business jumping into a game whose conditions and rules we do not know. We don't want to make a hit and then run to third instead of first, or we shall pretty soon be sitting on the bench, watching better-informed people play. The game this book deals with - the game of labor and industry - is one we cannot stay out of unless we want to be professional loafers or tramps. We want to take part in winning prosperity for our country, and for ourselves along with it. No country is truly prosperous if its people are afraid of work. The industries of a country are the basis of its well-being. Yet mere work or industry is not enough; the labors of us all must be intelligent if they are to set us high among the nations and peoples. And that means that we must be thoroughly informed about what we have to do with, here in America, and how we can best put it to use. We shall win out as a people, and also as individuals, in proportion as we possess wide and exact knowledge.

We like to think of the United States as the richest and most prosperous nation in the world; we have pride in the fact that with its huge production of cereals, meats, and cotton, this country performs a greater part in feeding and clothing the world than any other single coun try; with its output of coal, iron and copper, it has a fore most position among modern industrial nations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Industrial History of the American People IN order to understand the reasons for the discovery of the New World, we must turn back in European history to a won derful time called the Renaissance, ' at the end of the Middle Ages. During this period, from the fourteenth century ou, through at least two centuries, the minds of men awoke from the slumber of the Dark Ages, and within a very few generations civilization made greater advances in many directions than the previous thousand years had seen. These advances occurred in education, in painting, sculpture, architecture, religion, and in all things that pertain to learning, but the most important advance came in a changed attitude towards life. Men wanted to know more of the earth itself, and to enjoy it more. Ig norance, energy, and curiosity united to produce the most as tonishing results; for example, it was man's very ignorance of real conditions that gave him the courage to make long voy ages on unknown waters. Dissatisfaction with the old order of afiairs was in the air, and it needed only a little thing to attract the attention of the awakening world.
