The industrial history of the United States describes the United States\' emergence as the most technologically advanced nation in the world. The availability of land and literate labor, the absence of a landed aristocracy, the prestige of entrepreneurship, the diversity of climate and a large easily accessed upscale and literate free market all contributed to America\'s rapid industrialization.

As American colonies gained independence following the Revolutionary War, profound changes in industrial production and coordination were beginning to shift production from artisans to factories. A vast supply of natural resources, the technological knowledge on how to build and power the necessary machines along with a labor supply of mobile workers, often unmarried females, all aided early industrialization. The broad knowledge of the Industrial Revolution and Scientific Revolution helped facilitate understanding for the construction and invention of new manufacturing businesses and technologies.

Agriculture and Horticulture including the Cultivation of Cotton, Tobacco, Wheat

The Raising of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Etc
