    In the early 19th century, the American population and economy grew rapidly. The population doubled between 1790 and 1820, with more people moving west and into expanding cities. Immigrant groups like the Irish and Germans contributed to the growing labor force. The economy also began to industrialize, especially in transportation. The construction of canals and railroads connected the nation and allowed for specialization across regions. Inventions like the cotton gin, the steam engine, and the mechanical reaper boosted agricultural production, particularly of cotton in the South.

    Period4:1800-1848
    The new republic struggled to define and
    extend democratic ideals in the face of
    repaid economic, territorial and
    demographic changes.

    Themes
    In the era of Jacksonian democracy, the
    American population grew rapidly and
    changed in character. More people lived
    in the raw West and in the expanding
    cities, and immigrant groups like the Irish
    and Germans added their labor power to
    Americas economy, sometimes arousing
    hostility from native-born Americans in the
    process.

    Themes
    In the early nineteenth century, the
    American economy developed the
    beginnings of industrialization. The
    greatest advances occurred in
    transportation, as canals and railroads
    bound the Union together into a
    continental economy with strong regional
    specialization.
