How did new technologies contribute to the growth of the economy after the civil war

Everything happened during the industrial revolution.

Explanation:

America was one of the focal points of the industrial revolution. In this context, many innovations and technological achievements have been created that have facilitated everyday life and strengthened the country's economic growth. Steam machines took the lead in this context. In transport, these machines transported people and goods much faster, saving a lot of time and thus money. A plow that moved in the same way led to a revolution in production. A much larger amount of food was placed on the market much faster, affecting the economic race. The telegraph has contributed to the faster flow of information, which is also an important factor in this context. The United States was at the forefront of arms production, which increased the export of those goods and further enriched the state coffers.

the images of war are haunting

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
