AP US History
Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.5
What could have happened if Henry Ford failed in implementing assembly line production?
There would be no automobile manufacturing industry today due to prohibitive costs of hand-building cars.
Americans would've continued to rely solely on horses and trains for transportation.
Other manufacturers wouldn't adopt assembly line production, keeping products expensive and out of reach for most consumers.
Automobiles may have remained luxury items, potentially delaying development of suburbs and widespread car ownership culture in America.
