The post-Civil War was the continuation of

changes in the U.S. economy.

Moved from an economy based on agriculture

and trade to one based on production of
manufactured goods.
Use of raw materials, workers, capital
equipment, and new ideas (technology).
Factors of production: land, labor, capital, and
technology.

how to do something as well as the equipment
needed to do it.

materials to cities where manufacturers changed
the raw materials into consumer products and
then shipped products to people throughout the
country and world.
