The emergence of a retail market in the first half of the 19th century dramatically altered the lives of working Americans, both free and enslaved, as the divisions within society deepened. The early expansion of industrial and agricultural development involved different types of labor and economic organization. The changing status of workers and the organization of work not only challenged the Jeffersonian ideal of a nation of property owners but also transformed the nature of work itself.

In what ways did industrial and agricultural development change the nature of work for urban artisans and journeymen in the North and southern slaves and Native Americans in the South, respectively, and how did each group respond to these changes?
