Mechanization and Mass Production
The U.S. GNP (measures manufacturing) grew from #4 (1860) to #1 (1894): the largest producer in of manufactured goods in the world
Full exploitation of natural resources
Use of machines, steam and electric power, for manufacturing
Encouraged by federal aid and land grants
Use of immigrants for cheap labor Carnegie’s U.S. Steel Plant and factory
town, Homestead, Pennsylvania (1890s)

Carnegie and U.S. Steel Based corporate model on
“vertical integration”--controlling all aspects of a business (mining, transportation, refining, and sale)
Symbolized the “American Dream” Started as a poor Scottish
immigrant Worked as a telegrapher for rail
road Used creativity, genius, and
charisma to problem solve Purchased stock and aggressively
bought out competition Use of intellect, timing, and will to
achieve wealth

Carnegie’s Beliefs Believed that God’s will and his
unique ability made him rich Wealth should not be inherited Believed that the rich were socially
obligated to share wealth with poor Provided money and endowments to
libraries, music centers, churches, and schools
Became a model for philanthropy and charity
Believed that competition was essential for American growth (no monopolies)

Rockefeller and Standard Oil Based corporate model on
“horizontal integration”--controlling one aspect of an industry (only refining)
Bought out competition to form a monopoly of refined oil
Controlled over 90% of refining After anti-trust laws, Standard Oil was
broken up into smaller pieces (including Exxon), with Rockefeller on the Board of Directors for each
Strategic control of refining forced the market price for drilling (pre-refining), and sale (post-refining), effectively controlling the market

Rockefeller’s Beliefs Believed that individual
accomplishment resulted in success
Believed in eliminating competition Less competition made a
more efficient business Laissez-faire increased the
ability for a business to operate effectively

The Backbone of Industry: The Steel RailsCreating a Transcontinental
Railroad Increased miles of rails 35K
(1865) to 200K (1900) Subsidized by federal grants Required relocation of Indian
tribes Contradicted laissez-faire
policy; gov’t invested, promoted, funded, and advertised rail expansion

200, 000 + Miles of Track

Creating a Rail System
Used corporate model of consolidation and trusts
Combined rail lines Forced industries to use the
only available rail line and set the price for transportation
Gave rebates to “friendly” industries
Refused service to “unfriendly” industries
![Page 27: THE RISE OF INDUSTRIAL AMERICA: The Industrial Titans Mr. Phipps U.S. History.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce05503460f949a991b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Rail Inventions Steel Rails: stronger
standardized rail gauge making transport safer and faster
Westinghouse air brake: increased safety
Pullman cars: luxurious travel cars
Armour Cars: refrigerated meat cars (i.e. Armour hot dogs)
Time Zones: provided consistency for delivery
Telegraph: increased communication down rail lines

In Sum
Carnegie and Rockefeller differed in their approach to business: Carnegie favored competition and charity; Rockefeller favored monopoly and rugged individualism
The oil, steel, and railroad industries helped each other grow and depended on each other for success
In less than 30 years, the U.S. became the leading manufacturer, transporter, and richest country in the “civilized” world
