The Effects of The Consumer Revolution

The consumer revolution was a major part of history that influenced societies views on good and the status that comes a long with wealth.  We see an increase in ease of credit, travel, and more efficient production which allows people to now display their wealth and status in society

The pieces included in this collection will relate directly to the consumer revolution and show the transition into this period of mass consumption in america that increases the dependency on Britain for production, as well as the widespread elite debts that lead to increases in taxes.  and the eventual effects that  lead to the separation from Britain. This trend is something that leaves a lasting imprint on American culture and is something that can still be seen today.
