WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.424 --> 00:00:02.440 What was the major market for 2 00:00:02.440 --> 00:00:03.912 the products of the mining boom 3 00:00:03.912 --> 00:00:06.024 in the late-19th century. 4 00:00:06.024 --> 00:00:08.872 The keyword here is the LATE-19th century. 5 00:00:08.872 --> 00:00:12.616 Generally, you want to make sure that the answer we choose 6 00:00:12.616 --> 00:00:16.296 for this question relates to the late-19th century 7 00:00:16.296 --> 00:00:19.880 rather than the mid- or early-19th century. 8 00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:23.144 So A. Construction boom in the East, 9 00:00:23.144 --> 00:00:25.288 B. Federal Army, 10 00:00:25.288 --> 00:00:28.040 C. New Manufacturing Industries, 11 00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:30.472 or D. Gold-working. 12 00:00:30.472 --> 00:00:32.200 Well, we can eliminate D, 13 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.304 because gold-working doesn't require a lot of 14 00:00:35.304 --> 00:00:37.512 mining, since it has to deal with the 15 00:00:37.512 --> 00:00:41.224 more intricacies of a very luxury item, 16 00:00:41.224 --> 00:00:44.648 too expensive to be on the mass market. 17 00:00:44.648 --> 00:00:47.336 And the mining ore from the late-19th century 18 00:00:47.336 --> 00:00:48.936 was more industrial in nature. 19 00:00:48.936 --> 00:00:51.272 We had copper, tin, silver, 20 00:00:51.272 --> 00:00:53.768 as well as iron ore. 21 00:00:53.768 --> 00:00:55.432 So D is out. 22 00:00:55.432 --> 00:00:58.216 A. Construction boom in the east 23 00:00:58.216 --> 00:01:00.936 would've been true in early-19th century, 24 00:01:00.936 --> 00:01:04.968 when the increase of factories, et cetera, 25 00:01:04.968 --> 00:01:09.704 as a result of the United States embargo 26 00:01:09.704 --> 00:01:13.192 on British or European goods during the War of 1812, 27 00:01:13.192 --> 00:01:17.416 which gave the infant industries in America, 28 00:01:17.416 --> 00:01:20.232 particularly in Northeast America, 29 00:01:20.232 --> 00:01:22.636 no competition, and they would have flourished. 30 00:01:22.636 --> 00:01:25.580 That would've been true in the early-19th century, 31 00:01:25.580 --> 00:01:27.212 so A is out. 32 00:01:27.212 --> 00:01:29.132 And then we have B, the federal army, 33 00:01:29.132 --> 00:01:33.356 which might have been true during the mid-century, 34 00:01:33.356 --> 00:01:37.292 due to the Civil War, but during the late-19th century, 35 00:01:37.292 --> 00:01:40.204 we actually, the United States practice's 36 00:01:40.204 --> 00:01:42.374 a bit more of an isolation, 37 00:01:42.374 --> 00:01:44.230 trying to deal with our own issues, 38 00:01:44.230 --> 00:01:47.654 expanding manifest destiny, going across our continent, 39 00:01:47.654 --> 00:01:51.878 and political hegemony in Latin American, 40 00:01:51.878 --> 00:01:55.910 rather than in building up an international empire 41 00:01:55.910 --> 00:01:58.246 or acquire a standing army. 42 00:01:58.246 --> 00:02:00.390 So B is out, and that leaves C, 43 00:02:00.390 --> 00:02:02.310 the new manufacturing industries. 44 00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:06.734 Now, after the Civil War, 45 00:02:06.734 --> 00:02:09.998 industries give a greater boom, 46 00:02:09.998 --> 00:02:12.878 particularly in the north, 47 00:02:12.878 --> 00:02:15.918 but all the way across the country. 48 00:02:15.918 --> 00:02:18.168 The north maintained its infrastructure 49 00:02:18.168 --> 00:02:22.424 throughout the Civil War, and it built greater 50 00:02:22.424 --> 00:02:25.880 factories, but the invention of the steam engine 51 00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:28.376 and expanding that into the southern states, 52 00:02:28.376 --> 00:02:32.498 with the investment capital 53 00:02:32.498 --> 00:02:35.954 of northern investors 54 00:02:35.954 --> 00:02:39.474 allowed for greater industries to build themselves 55 00:02:39.474 --> 00:02:42.066 in the south, as well as the building 56 00:02:42.066 --> 00:02:44.210 of the transcontinental railroad 57 00:02:44.210 --> 00:02:46.482 across our country 58 00:02:46.482 --> 00:02:51.090 allowed for industrial endeavors in the west as well. 59 00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:53.618 So these new manufacturing industries 60 00:02:53.618 --> 00:02:55.218 would be the correct answer. 61 00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:56.466 So C is correct.
