Steam power made it possible for more factories to be powered, as well as exist. It also lead to inventions such as the steam boats and steam train.

Sewing machines made life on the plains easier. sewing clothes by hand took a lng freaking time, but with the sewing machine people (mostly women... only women?) could sew many clothes in the time it took to sew one by hand.

The telegraph enabled quick communication over long distances. It also helped America feel more connected.
