What is happening in the excerpt?
Read this excerpt from "Freedom's Plow" by Langston
Hughes.
Labor! Out of labor came the rowboats
And the sailboats and the steamboats,
Came the wagons, and the coaches,
Covered wagons, stage coaches,
Out of labor came the factories,
Came the foundries, came the railroads.
Settlers are working to establish American industry.
People are seeking adventure through travel.
Factory owners are earning a fortune for their
companies.
America is progressing faster than other competing
nations.
