Chapter 11 Technology, Culture, and Everyday Life (1840-1860) Technology and Economic Growth ? Westward movement started to increase with John Deere?s steel tip plow that halved the labor to clear acres to till, making the hard soil better for farming. ? Wheat became as vital to the west as cotton to the south. ? Cyrus McCormick?s mechanical reaper harvested grain seven times faster and with half the labor required, further making wheat great for the west. This invention would also give an edge to the north in the war to come. ? Eli Whitney formulated a plan to manufacture muskets using interchangeable parts and unskilled labor, becoming a widely used method, and by 1851, Europeans had started to refer to manufacture by interchangeable parts as the ?American System.?

ralph waldo emerson
Emerson first sought an answer to the question of a man's place in a "science" of nature. His essay, Nature, was published in 1836, and is the main text by Emerson about transcedentalism. It is divided into 8 parts: 1. Nature A. It is an experience of solitude. B. We have to use the pleasure of nature with some moderation. 2. Commodity A. Nature is perfectly fitted for human beings. B. Nature is something which is alive and surrounds men and which is at their service; however, idndustry is not contradiction with nature: for him, both are complementary. 3. Beauty: He didvides it into 3 elements A. Beauty, as a pleasure in perceiving natural forms, as a relief for men. B. Beauty as "the mark God sets upon virtue." C. Beauty as an object of the intellect.
