4 The second half of U.S.A, history the period of Industrialization,—is in itself sub-divisible into three main parts: 1850--1890

5 1890--1920

6 1920…1940.

7 Each, it is to be noticed,

8 is shorter than the period preceding, just as the first and second halves of U.S.A, over-all history were 250 and 90 years respectively due to the time telescoping effect of the compounding speed of intercommunication.

9 This compounding growth speed is caused by the elimination

10 of the frictional barriers of rumor and untruth thus allowing far flung events and data of scientific history interactively to associate

11 out of the integrating history of which the whole phenomenon of INDUSTRIALIZATION is mostly evolved but partially fashioned.

12 Throughout all known history of any life on earth this telescopic effect is continuously observable as interactive and interdependent.

13 The telescoping is trend warp and woof inherent in the phenomenon life ever distorting perspective for the unwary,—that is ;—for the energy blind and cosmically heedless.

14 Period one of industrialization 1850 to 1890

15 is that primarily devoted to laying railroad tracks and to stringing telegraph lines and to provision of

16 coal, steel, and copper, thus to do with virtually no consideration of conservation of tonnage or effort.

17 During this period the older arts of cotton manufacture, iron casting, and forging, crafts and age-old agriculture share the American stage.

18 The people do not think of the railroad and telegraph or even of the mills

19 as representing the birth

20 of an entirely new economic phase of life.

21 They think of these changes as normal adjuncts to a primarily agricultural and craft economy—the only basic one they have ever known.
