The Impacts of Industrial Revolution on the American Social Life in the 19th Century:The John Brown Case

Bu çalışma, endüstrileşme sürecinin Amerikan sosyal hayatı üzerindeki etkilerini, endüstriyel devrimin gerçekleştiği bir zamanda, (ki Amerikan tarihinin en karışık devirlerinden birini oluşturan bir dönemdir), yaşamış olan John Bown'm hayatını incelemek suretiyle ortaya koymayı amaç edinir. Sıradan bir Amerikan vatandaşı olarak hayat mücadelesi vermiş olan John Brown, başarılı bir işadamı olmak için yapmış olduğu uzun ve yorucu çabalann sonuç vermemesi üzerine bunun sorumlusu olarak gördüğü kapitalist güçlere karşı harekete geçmiş ve bunun neticesinde de Amerikan kölelik sistemine karşı ilk silahlı ayaklanmayı başlatmıştı. Brovvn'un isyanı 16 Ekim 1859 yılında Virjinya eyaletine bağlı Harper's Ferry kasabasında meydana gelmişti. Ancak, iki gün sonra Amerikan deniz piyadeleri tarafından kanlı bir baskından sonra yakalanmış ve mahkemeye çıkarılmıştı. Sonuç olarak, John Brown, Amerikan İç Savaşına çeyrek kala, Virjinya'da ölüm cezasına çarptırılmış ve cezası da 2 Aralık 1859'da idam edilmek suretiyle infaz edilmişti.

Endüstriyel Devrimin 19. Yüzyıl Amerikan Sosyal Hayatı Üzerindeki Etkileri: John Brown Hadisesi

This paper scrutinizes the effects of industrialization on the life of ordinary American people through examining the .life of John Brown, who lived in one of the most turbulent times in the US (United States) histoiy, at a time when the industrial revolution took place in the first half of the 19th century. John Brown was an ordinary American citizen, who first long engaged in trade and commerce for being a successful businessman, but his failure in business turned him against the expanding forces of capitalism at the time, and caused him to wage a war against the slave system. Ultimately, he embarked a rebellion against the slaveholding South, and biased North on Harper's Ferry, Virginia on 16 October 1859. Two days later however he was captured by the US marines and then brought to trial. John Brown was charged with criminal conspiracy and treason against the state of Virginia, and he was eventually hanged on 2 December 1859, just prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
