— An inventor who developed the electric telegraph and Morse code, a system that allowed messages to be sent quickly over long distances using electrical signals.

— An inventor known for perfecting the cotton gin and promoting the idea of interchangeable parts, which made building and repairing machines easier and cheaper.

— Textile mills in Lowell, Massachusetts, that employed many young women in organized factory work; they became a model of early American industrial factories and factory life.

— A farm machine that separates grain from stalks and husks, speeding up harvest work that used to be done by hand.

— An enslaved African American who led a large and violent rebellion in 1831 against slavery in Virginia; his revolt led to stricter laws and increased fear among slaveholders.

— An American inventor and engineer best known for building a successful steamboat that could carry people and goods up rivers, making water travel faster and more reliable.

— A machine invented to harvest grain faster than by hand; it cut and gathered crops, helping farmers produce more food with less labor.

— An early industrialist who brought water-powered textile mill designs from Britain to the United States, starting the American factory system for cloth production.

— An inventor and industrialist who built the first American steam locomotive called the "Tom Thumb," helping show that trains could move people and goods quickly over land.
