Industrialization after Civil War

The civil wars in America were the bloodiest times of the history. Slavery and crystallization were the main causes of this scenario. Initially, slavery was practiced all over the country as natural as the rest of the Americas, where the institution was widespread. The Civil War fascinates not only to historians, and researchers of history of the United States of America. It also inspires the artists, writers and directors. Civil war brought industrial revolution throughout the world. The Industrial revolution began in the early 1800s. The industrial revolution could not have happened if the agricultural revolution had not preceded it, due to the Industrial revolution, major changes were seen in manufacturing, transportation, technology, mining and agriculture. The paper will talk about how transport has evolved after the civil war from that of carriages to modern ways of transportation.

Transport arises in antiquity, as the need for remote trading or transporting materials and people resources. The emergence of modern transport was marked in the 19th century after the civil war. The International Transport undertook a phase of strong growth in the late 19th century, particularly related to the appearance of motor oil. This form of propulsion increased speed and capacity of maritime transport, possibly leading to the emergence of major port cities. Fuel oil allowed energy savings previously unmatched, namely a reduction in consumption of ships by a factor of 90% relative to coal. At equal size, a ship could carry more fuel oil cargo; consequent reductions in operating costs considerable. Port, while integrating the activities of production and transport, as a result became an industrial complex around which agglomerated activities involving the massive use of raw materials. The expansion of vessel size, however, has developed quickly to impose huge investment needs in light adaptation of port infrastructure. This period ...
