How the United State would be different if the Industrial Revolution did not happen.

The industrial revolution was a huge change in America, with positive and negative outcomes. One of the good effects is that manufacturing products became way easier. It changed people’s lifestyles to be more comfortable and pleasant. This change benefited humans greatly. But that’s the problem. The humans were the ONLY ones that benefited. The first industrial revolution introduced major pollution problems, including light, air and water pollution. This caused many animals to suffer endangerment and even extinction. There was also depletion of natural resources. People have been using coal and natural oils way too much. It takes millions of years for that stuff to form. So that’s another problem the industrial revolution caused. People are also cutting down trees for wood, and are destroying many forests. This is the animals’ natural habitats, and more animals are driven to extinction because they have nowhere safe to live. If the industrial revolution never happened, the United States would probably have a better environment. None of these problems would have happened. Sure, we would be doing lots of stuff the hard way like washing clothes and going places, but business and financial issues wouldn’t be that big of a deal. The industrial revolution was very disastrous to our planet, and I believe we would have been better without it.

the steamboat is your answer.

a plantation economy is an economy based on agricultural mass production, usually of a few commodity crops grown on large farms called plantations. plantation economies rely on the export of cash crops as a source of income.
