Students,
Today and tomorrow we looked at the Second industrial revolution. I would like to take time here on the blog to reiterate that Westward Expansion notes and Second Industrial Revolution notes take place during the same time period. One focuses on the West and the other on the East. That does not mean that they do not influence one another, and if you look you can find hints of each within the other. If you were out, check out the PPT below!
