The main one I can think of is industrialization. Following the Civil War, we witnessed the birth of corporate America and the making of Getty and Rockefeller. Fortunes were made in Oil and Steel.

The civil War and the wars of the twentieth century are definetly turning points in the growth of civil rights. For example the end of the civil war along with the 13TH amendment bring cahanges in America. During reconstruction blacks are protected by the Freedmens Bureau which helps them out toget their voting rights. During reconstruction thanks to this bureau and both carpetbaggers and scalawags the 14th and 15th amendments are passed which define citizenship and male suffrage.With the hayes-tilden election comes the crime of 77 which allows the KKK to take power in the south but not for long because president Grant enforces  a force bill which ends the klan, but not forever. Then in ww2 there were many riots because blacks weren't allowed to be mixed with whites. This created the civil rights movement with all kinds of awr taking place like the korean and vietnam. Sit ins and freedom riders would help the movement.

"The conduct of war changed as a result of three technological advances during the Civil War: the rifled musket, the electric telegraph, and the railroad."

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.

Actually, I just did a research paper on the "Roaring Twenties". The Twenties were known as the "Roaring Twenties" because of the unbelievable economic prosperity, government willing to sit back and let society run itself more than any other previous United States government, and because of a social class that pushed boundaries farther than ever. Unemployment rates went down and war veterans returned home, this led to a hgue economic boost. Also, the 1920's brought many things that led to what some would call the most colorful decade in Americna history. These things include but are not limited to: the commercial radio, the Jazz Age, and the intoduction of non-silent films known as "talkies". Also, women became more independant and a new type of woman emerged. Known as "flappers", these women wore short skirts, drank and smoked, and danced just like the men. All of these attributes together added up for one hell of a decade, simply known today as the "Roaring Twenties"

None. All professions have been changed in some form or another by IT. Even monks. And candle makers... publishers..mine workers....etc. etc. However, the Amish might be another story.

Ha ha u stink, my teacher was a softy, we just finished reading of mice and men and he never gave us h.w.\nThe farm depression of the 1920s:\nGreat Depression in the United States, worst and longest economic collapse in the history of the modern industrial world, lasting from the end of 1929 until the early 1940s. Beginning in the United States, the depression spread to most of the world’s industrial countries, which in the 20th century had become economically dependent on one another. The Great Depression saw rapid declines in the production and sale of goods and a sudden, severe rise in unemployment. Businesses and banks closed their doors, people lost their jobs, homes, and savings, and many depended on charity to survive. In 1933, at the worst point in the depression, more than 15 million Americans—one-quarter of the nation’s workforce—were unemployed.\n\nThe depression was caused by a number of serious weaknesses in the economy. Although the 1920s appeared on the surface to be a prosperous time, income was unevenly distributed. The wealthy made large profits, but more and more Americans spent more than they earned, and farmers faced low prices and heavy debt. The lingering effects of World War I (1914-1918) caused economic problems in many countries, as Europe struggled to pay war debts and reparations. These problems contributed to the crisis that began the Great Depression: the disastrous U.S. stock market crash of 1929 (see Black Monday), which ruined thousands of investors and destroyed confidence in the economy. Continuing throughout the 1930s, the depression ended in the United States only when massive spending for World War II began.\n\nThe depression produced lasting effects on the United States that are still apparent more than half a century after it ended. It led to the election of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who created the programs known as the New Deal to overcome the effects of the Great Depression. These programs expanded government intervention into new areas of social and economic concerns and created social-assistance measures on the national level. The Great Depression fundamentally changed the relationship between the government and the people, who came to expect and accept a larger federal role in their lives and the economy.\n\nThe programs of the New Deal also brought together a new, liberal political alliance in the United States. Roosevelt’s policies won the support of labor unions, blacks, people who received government relief, ethnic and religious minorities, intellectuals, and some farmers, forming a coalition that would be the backbone of the Democratic Party for decades to come.\nSorry- this is the best I can find for education during the 1930s:\nEconomics dominated politics in the 1930's.  The decade began with shanty towns called Hoovervilles, \nnamed after a president who felt that relief should be left to the private sector, and ended with an alphabet soup of federal programs funded by the national government and an assortment of commissions set up to regulate Wall Street, the banking industry, and other business enterprises. The Social Security Act of 1935 set up a program to ensure an income for the elderly. The Wagner Act of 1935 gave workers the legal right to unionize.  John L. Lewis founded the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and conditions for blue-collar workers improved. Joseph P. Kennedy, a Wall Street insider, was appointed Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commissions.

it depends on from where you start measuring. from about 1870 to 1970 great strides were made. its has been pretty much downhill from there. i am not so sure why this is. any ideas?

Everything changed with the approach of the Civil War. In November 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, with virtually no support from the South. His election resulted in the country's southernmost states leaving the Union. On April 17, 1861, days after Lincoln's order to seize Fort Sumter in South Carolina, a convention of Virginians voted to submit a secession bill to the people. Led by Clarksburg's John S. Carlile, western delegates marched out of the Secession Convention, vowing to form a state government loyal to the Union. Many of these delegates gathered in Clarksburg on April 22, calling for a pro-Union convention, which met in Wheeling from May 13 to 15. On May 23, a majority of Virginia voters approved the Ordinance of Secession. It is not possible to determine accurately the vote total from present-day West Virginia due to vote tampering and the destruction of records. Some argue that secessionists were in the majority in western Virginia, while others feel Unionists had greater support.\n\nFollowing a Union victory at the Battle of Philippi and the subsequent occupation of northwestern Virginia by General George B. McClellan, the Second Wheeling Convention met between June 11 and June 25, 1861. Delegates formed the Restored, or Reorganized, Government of Virginia, and chose Francis H. Pierpont as governor. President Lincoln recognized the Restored Government as the legitimate government of Virginia. John Carlile and Waitman T. Willey became United States Senators and Jacob B. Blair, William G. Brown, and Kellian V. Whaley became Congressmen representing pro-Union Virginia.\n\nOn October 24, 1861, residents of thirty-nine counties in western Virginia approved the formation of a new Unionist state. The accuracy of these election results have been questioned, since Union troops were stationed at many of the polls to prevent Confederate sympathizers from voting. At the Constitutional Convention, which met in Wheeling from November 1861 to February 1862, delegates selected the counties for inclusion in the new state of West Virginia. From the initial list, most of the counties in the Shenandoah Valley were excluded due to their control by Confederate troops and a large number of local Confederate sympathizers. In the end, fifty counties were selected (all of present-day West Virginia's counties except Mineral, Grant, Lincoln, Summers, and Mingo, which were formed after statehood). Most of the eastern and southern counties did not support statehood, but were included for political, economic, and military purposes. The mountain range west of the Blue Ridge became the eastern border of West Virginia to provide a defense against Confederate invasion. One of the most controversial decisions involved the Eastern Panhandle counties, which supported the Confederacy. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which ran through the Eastern Panhandle, was extremely important for the economy and troop movements. Inclusion of these counties removed all of the railroad from the Confederacy.\n\nIn terms of the constitution itself, the subject of slavery produced the most controversy. Delegate Gordon Battelle proposed the gradual emancipation of slaves already in the state and freedom to all children born to slaves after July 4, 1865. Although some delegates opposed Battelle's position, they knew they could not create a pro-slavery document and gain approval from Congress. Following much debate and compromise, the provision written into the constitution banned the introduction of slaves or free African Americans into the state of West Virginia, but did not address the issue of immediate or gradual emancipation.\n\nThe United States Constitution says a new state must gain approval from the original state, which never occurred in the case of West Virginia. Since the Restored Government was considered the legal government of Virginia, it granted permission to itself on May 13, 1862, to form the state of West Virginia.\n

This was a period in which the former States of the Confederacy were impelled and coerced through a societal transformation.  During this period 10 to 15 percent of the white voters were disfranchised as the local Republican Party united illiterate blacks, “scalawags,” and northern “Carpetbaggers” into an unscrupulous political triumvirate that indulged in an orgy of extravagance, corruption, and debauchery.  (from “Emancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Men,” by Jeffrey Rogers Hummel).  \n\nDuring this same period, the Union military occupation forces made elected members of some State legislatures removed from office because they would not support ratification of the 14th Amendment.  They then replaced these legislatures with hand picked individuals who would vote the way they wanted.  While this is clearly extra-Constitutional, in the 1869 case of Texas v. White these acts of the Union were justified as legitimate “by right of conquest.”  \n\nThese acts of reconstruction were far outside the intent for Reconstruction of President Lincoln (prior to his assassination) further destroying the culture of these States and building resentment which would last for generations into the future.  For those interested they could find interesting such books as:\n\n“The Tragic Era: The Revolution after Lincoln” by Claude G. Bowers;\n“History of the United States From the Compromise of 1850 to the Restoration of Home Rule in the South in 1877”, by James Ford Rhodes;\nAlso by William Archibald Dunning, “Reconstruction: Political and Economic, 1865 – 1877; and,\nEssays on the Civil War and Reconstruction,” 2nd edition.

These are very common subjects. You may consider doing research or checking class notes. For lack of that,\nthere was a big burst of industry after the civil war. Things became more advanced. More people moved to the United States and of course, emancipation of slaves had a great effect on the diversity of the population. Maybe these facts can help you to understand what sort of development you're looking for?\n\nSorry I couldn't be more helpful!
