The Men Who Built America: The Bloody Era of Reconstruction (S1, E2) | Full Episode

Iv been working in a steel mill for 34 years. It is still the back bone of our country.

Me and my grandaddy watched this when it first dropped i wanna say 2013 …i was higher than a kite him drunker than a skunk😂😂😂😂boy i miss that fella

Love the introduction of historical figures in the same style as pawn stars lol

Biographer: "One of the huge costs in a steel mill is labor. Carnegie knew that to stay profitable, he had to keep costs low." Indeed. There is this tiresome fact that owners must part with some fraction of the money they've preemptively siphoned from the enterprise - in order that the brutes whose work generates All Revenues might narrowly avoid starvation overnight and show up for more scraps tomorrow.

I have been doing 14 hour days coordinating construction, i just am blown away on how the processes we use everyday were literally invented only one lifetime ago on a kamikazie gamble on a brand new product "Steel". Like what a concept.

Being from Pittsburgh, i have to say that some of the shells of these mills still stand today, like the mill in Homestead. They are truly impressive. The early 70s when I was a kid was the tail end of steel in the Burg, and it was something to see.

this was an important moment in US history

Grant Hayes and Garfield rebuilt “America”

“Without a vision we all parish” ……. Carnegie had a vision ❤

I’ve heard the phrase, “ train them well enough they could leave, pay them well enough they choose not too” I think that speaks volumes.
