Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 18: The Development of the North Since the Civil War This industrial new-birth characterizes the development of the North during the period of which Mr. Rogers writes. So vast is the field of operations, so varied are the indus tries, so obscure and complicated are the economic and ethical problems involved, that no more than an outline of them is possible in the compass of a single volume. The industrialism of the last forty years exemplifies the entrance of the American people upon a new phase of their history. Never again can there exist the simplicity of life as it was before the War. Wisely or foolishly, people demand, if not more, at least other things than those which satisfied everyday people forty years ago. As Mr. Rogers narrates in one of his chapters, the now famed expositions which have been held in America since the. War have indi cated the nature of the continental, the world education which the American people were receiving. And yet none of these expositions could have been possible had not the American people themselves prepared the way.
