Industrialization left a huge imprint on American society, especially the working class and elites. Although the Industrial Revolution greatly shaped Americans, it did not shape the working class and elites comparatively; what was essential for the working class was not essential for the elites. The elites became more and more powerful while the working class began to lose more and more free time. Despite the actions and opinions of the elites, Sam Patch and Phineas Taylor Barnum, also known as PT Barnum, opposed their actions and opinions. Sam Patch and PT Barnum took it upon themselves to fight for what they believed was right by speaking out in their own way. They used various methods to express themselves through unique art, believed in the politics of leisure, and eventually became celebrities through their artwork. The elites of the Industrial Revolution had a completely different view of art than Sam Patch and PT Barnum. They believed that art signified not only the beauty of nature but also the creations of humanity, such as technology and entrepreneurial vision. Timothy B. Crane, a builder and sawmill owner who purchased the wooded north shore of Passaic Falls, saw art "as a crucial part of what might be called the language of progress, a language that described and legitimized that what he was doing in Passaic Falls.” » (Johnson, Sam Patch, The Famous Horseman, p. 53). Sam Patch and PT Barnum, on the other hand, believed that jumping stunts and featuring "monsters" was their way of making art. Before each jump, Sam Patch had a motto: "Some things can be done as well as others" (Johnson, Sam Patch, The Famous Jumper, p. 66). He believed that anyone could do what he did if they put their mind to it. PT Barnum, on the other hand, believed that anyone could become famous if they had the right attitude and mindset. He created what was essentially an “upper torso of a monkey sewn to the lower half of a fish” called Feejee Mermaid. It was one of its famous attractions. This creature shows how easily anyone or anything can become famous. Sam Patch and PT Barnum had similar views on industrialization. They believed that there were many different art forms, not just one. They both enjoyed their leisure time by living life to the fullest, whether having fun, drinking, or spending time with others. Finally, Sam Patch and PT Barnum proved that anyone can become famous if they want to. It’s not because it seemed like the elites had the upper hand. Sam Patch and PT Barnum fought for what they believed in, which made them famous. Overall, industrialization may seem terrible, but these two men made it achievable..
