Introduction



Between 1750 and 1900, Europe and the United States went through a period of rapid industrialization.  This industrialization was a result of improved technologies that made production cheaper and faster.  In addition to production, scientists made important discoveries about diseases, genetics, and chemistry.  Humans would never view themselves or their world in the same way again.

Who were the people in America responsible for these technological advances and how did they come up with these new ideas?  During this WebQuest, you will uncover the answers to these questions and develop an understanding of how new ideas can lead to the development of a whole new society.
