Industrialization occurred in America because of a good supply of the natural resources needed to build factories and turn out manufactured products. American innovation produced new inventions that greatly improved manufacturing methods and provided new products. Efficcient transportation systems such as water ways and railroads made it possible to move raw material and goods cheaply. Good soil and improvements in agriculture keep food prices low and freed labor for jobs in industry. A relatively prosperous economy allowed the rank-and-file of workers to buy consumer products and so provided a ready domestic market for much that was produced.
