Market Revolution (4 фев 1800 г. – 4 фев 1840 г.)

Описание:

A drastic change in the United States manual-labor system sparked by improving transportation and communication. Northern agriculture shifted from mostly subsistence farming, whereby families grew food and raised livestock for themselves, toward a more market-based system with farmers selling surplus crops and herds. Industry spurred the Southern plantation system too, setting in motion an emerging conflict of two inter-dependent but politically antagonistic economies, as Southern cotton fed Northern textile mills.
