The Industrial Economy: Crash Course US History #23

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In which John Green teaches you about the Industrial Economy that arose in the United States after the Civil War. You know how when you're studying history, and you're reading along and everything seems safely in the past, and then BOOM you think, Man, this suddenly seems very modern. For me, that moment in US History is the post-Reconstruction expansion of industrialism in America. After the Civil War, many of the changes in technology and ideas gave rise to this new industrialism. You'll learn about the rise of Captains of Industry (or Robber Barons) like Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller, and JP Morgan. You'll learn about trusts, combinations, and how the government responded to these new business practices. All this, plus John will cover how workers reacted to the changes in society and the early days of the labor movement. You'll learn about the Knights of Labor and Terence Powderly, and Samuel Gompers and the AFL. As a special bonus, someone gets beaten with a cane. AGAIN. What is it with American History and people getting beaten with canes? Support CrashCourse on Patreon

How can we make capitalism to be a more equal economic system without the necessity of government intervention? When Jefferson bought land and divided it to small farms i think that was a proper way to create a posibility for the low class to be free economicly. Corporations should care more that all their workers can achieve somehow a better way of living.

John Green you bigot, you are providing me with incorrect information and therefore hampering my learning experience. You have truly ruined my urge to learn and grow. The Knights of Labor was the not the first Labor Union

I can't help but feel that for all the supposed progress of the last century, we've gotten right back to where we were in the early 20th. The nouns change, but the verbs and adjectives seem to stick.
