The Amazing Nineteenth Century: A Century of Innovation

August 4, 6:00 PM

A lecture by J. Ward Regan

This talk focuses on the development of specific innovations in the nineteenth century and examines how they formed the core of the industrial transformation of American society. The different subjects covered link the material transformation of the world with new ideas about society and government.

Intertwined throughout the presentation is an exploration of individual and collective responses to the changed circumstances of their lives. This includes topics as varied as labor and religious movements throughout the century, in addition to the technological transformations of material life.
