America has always been a capitalist country and mercantilism has always existed but that owning of business was not yet formed. The Market Revolution began in the first half of the 19th century and it was encouraged by various innovations in transportation and communications. First of all, agriculture became commercialized. Now farmers did not produce for self but for market and this became easier because of the transportation revolution. The transformation in transportation helped in smooth movement of the commodities, people, and information while the developments of textile mills and factories created new job opportunities especially for women ("8.
