For most of its history, North Carolina has had a predominantly rural economy. New technology that made farming more efficient also led to the growth of industry in the state. In recent years, the state's economy has turned sharply away from agriculture. Learn the factors--who, what, where, when, and how--that contributed to the shift from farm to factory. Identify objects, analyze historical photographs, study geography and its relationship to food, and learn about life in a mill village, the effects of child labor, and the importance of technology today and in the future.
