Throughout early American history, many great inventions and innovations emerged. With the help of the enlightenment era; development of ideas and critical thinking allowed many talented individuals to create unique and useful products. These items made substantial changes to the everyday lives of american people. Many of them were early examples of similar, more modernized products we still use today.

  I decided to put together this collection of different items that I thought correlated with the fact that they were all first inventions of there kind in the United States. With the country being still very new in the world, it had not really established itself yet as the great world leader it would later become. But, I thought it was interesting to know that early on so many substantial inventions that made historical breakthroughs came from such a very new and underdeveloped country.
