In the first half of the 19th century, the emergence of a market economy reshaped the lives of working Americans, both free and enslaved. Industrial and agricultural developments not only changed the status of workers and the organization of work, but also transformed the work process itself, an observation for which Adam Smith and Alexis de Tocqueville offer competing theories.
How did these developments change the nature of work for urban artisans and journeymen in the North and southern slaves and Native Americans in the South, and how did each of these groups respond to these changes? Conclude your paper by evaluating the degree to which working people shared in the nation’s prosperity.
