Abstract:

The cold war during the early republican period between the U.S. and Great Britain was a significant by-product of, or at least was significantly fostered by, the ultimate financial motive of South Carolina’s political-economic machine, a beast of Britain’s creation. This was caused by the overall strength of the political/economic unit of the colony/state, a romanticized belief in their extranational ability to pursue their interests created by revolution and other crises, and a constant effort to preserve financial status and stability by any means necessary.

Abstract:

This project explores the Bessemer steel manufacturing process’s influence and vertical integration on the rapid development of the American steel industry. Specifically, this project explores Carnegie’s adaptation of the process, leading to his vertical integration of the Western Pennsylvania/Eastern Ohio steel industry, and the subsequent expansion of the U.S. railroad network. This, in turn, drove down steel prices, making it easier to build the foundation of modern American society. Carnegie’s other business innovations and reputation are also analyzed.
