Revolution A dramatic change in the ways people
earned money and made goods that
began in England around the mid-1800s.

more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more
learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice
and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate
our better natures,”
Samuel Gompers
