Industrial Revolution

The past few years have been some to remember in America. The Industrial revolution has been in full swing for a few years and new advancements are being made. I was in search of work with very little knowledge about factories. A local factory was making a vehicle called the train. I had once heard of a train before but these were apparently faster than ones years before. I signed up for this job and began making trains. My job was to assemble the wheels. These wheels were fashioned out of wood with a metal ring around it. It was tiring work, but I felt good when they left the factory because they made a big difference in America.

These new and faster trains were one thing that united America. All this was cool, but what does it mean to be united as a nation? I mean sure I get fast mail and can communicate with people out west, but how is America different from other countries? Well for starters we take care of our people, and we build new things to help everyone not just the rich. They create new jobs for people like me to work. This can all mean different things for each person. To me being a nation is everyone working together and providing benefits for each other. I make trains, someone else makes clothes, and yet another person farms the food I eat. To me, that is what a united nation is.
