What factors enabled the United States to become a major industrial power?
===The Factors that enabled the untied sates to become a major industrial power was they built the rail roads and the light bulbs. The RailRoads enabled for the faster travel of goods and mail across the country. Instead of it taking about a couple of weeks to get to the west coast it took about couple of days to get to the west coast.=== ===Light helped a lot not only did we know how to get across the country faster the light bulb help the more goods being made so it took less time to make all the goods to fill the train. Before the light bulb factories could only stay up and running until the sun went down. When the light bulb came out the factories started having 2**nd** and 3**rd** shifts to get more done in a certain amount of time.=== ===Automobile was a part especially in the part of faster travel for shorter distance that the train don’t travel. The car help with gas companies gave them money for gas and that help the growth of other industries. One would be the produce of more jobs because of more automobile factories opening and the gas factories.=== [|6.1.1 Mitch H..pdf] =Tyler H= The telephone is good and it good becuse it was a hard to do it in the winter becuace ween we had to send mail and i had a good time becuse we did not whant to walk in the think snow and it was a good time when they mand the cars and it is better hours and the railroad they were able to easily transport goods acrossthe.
