After the bellicose belligerent that was the civil war, America hit a period of prosperity known as The Industrial Revolution. The Industrial revolution was a shifting point in American history, turning it from an agricultural farmland, into a paragon of producing profitable paraphernalia, creating the economic epitome of evolution that our country would eventually become. However there was many a dark side of this period of progression.

Prior to the Bessemer Process, steel was a difficult and impractical product to manufacture, making it more of a luxury than a building material. This all changed when Henry Bessemer, an English inventor/engineer, invented a quick easy way to convert iron into steel. Through underhanded tactics, such as spies and bribery, the Bessemer Process found it’s way into America, and paved the way for the Industrial Revolution. Along with the Bessemer Process, the steam engine was an enormous part of the progression of our nation, providing means of not only transportation, but also oil rigs, another staple of American advancement.



The Industrial revolution was both the literal and figurative railroad spike in the tracks that helped move the raging locomotive that was America. The literal sense of this metaphorical statement lies in the locomotives that spread their way across America. Locomotives, more colloquially known as choo choo trains, provided swift transportation for people and cargo alike.

Steel is an example of such cargo. Perhaps the most important asset to America, steel was a strong metal that allowed for higher buildings. This enabled cities to not only grow out, but also up. Creating factories, and new jobs for the American people, which also helped manage the influx of immigration.

There was however, a darker side to the industrial revolution. With the invention of factories, wasteful biproducts were being produced by the lungful. In addition, lack of child labor laws(or labor laws in general) meant that big wigs could hire anyone they wanted, and not be held liable for whatever sad fate befell the unfortunate employee.

Structuring, while more stable for the most part, was also dangerous. There weren't any zoning laws at the time, meaning that houses would often collapse, forcing families into homelessness. Parents would abandon their children to lower living expenses. Many men had to turn the crime just to make ends meet, and the plumbing was so bad that many people had to expel their waste via a window. While the economy was booming, the individual people were suffering.

In conclusion, the Industrial Revolution was a necessary evil that helped turn our nation into the powerhouse it is today. Transportation was improved, buildings reach the sky, and technology became better than ever.

I have no idea why he commented that :D thanks for reading my story though :D

I'm enforcing the progression of American education.

1800727 I'm Irish... And all I could see was a wall of text... but it's nice to know there's someone who cares about education. I wish I could say I was one of those people. but sadly, my experiences in educational facilities were such that I bear a deep resentment of all things academic...

Also industrial revolution started in Britain, and it is also irrelevant to my story...

1800797 He was talking about American history. Last I checked, every prosperous country today went through an industrial revolution. The fact that Britain was first is an irrelevant comment to his irrelevant comment.

His comment is irrelevant to my story, my comment is irrelevant to his.

1804462 I see you read my comment.

I just love how nobody is commenting on the story, or its quality, or how it was written, I guess the industrial revolution is far more interesting.

Hey, I wandered in from TTG.

Honestly, I do not think this story would work with a T rating, much less an E rating. You have the set-up for a dark and sometimes touching M-rated sex drama, though I'm not convinced you have the descriptive and interpersonal chops to make it work.

The reason the story pulls so hard in that direction is that you have introduced a Problem that begs to be Solved and it's shipping Luna with Night Wing so hard it hurts.

The Problem is, of course, that Celestia is giving really bad advice. If you already knew that and have a plan to teach her and Luna a lesson, carry on and have fun. (and if you can do it and keep the E, you have my respect) If not I can't see this story working out.
