    Uploaded by

    Andreea Mal
    The document discusses the rise of industrialism in the USA through three activities: 1) A video illustrates lifestyle disparities between the wealthy industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and everyday workers. 2) Photos from the late 1800s show young children and workers in dangerous factory conditions, likely paid very little and working long hours. 3) One of two significant events is assigned - the Haymarket Affair or Homestead Strike - and the student must research the event using online sources and fill out a chart with details. Both events involved violent labor disputes during this time of industrial growth.
