Andrew Carnegie Accomplishments
Content: He saw that thought iron was still popular, it would soon be overtaken by steel. So, he resigned from the railroad company and set up his own steel manufacturing company along with other partners. It is because of Andrew Carnegie that steel could be produced at a faster and more affordable rate in the US. He revolutionized steel production all over the globe and went on to become the largest steel manufacturer in the world. In the year 1901, Andrew sold his company to J. P. Morgan who had created the US Steel Corporation and thereafter he concentrated just on philanthropy. He was responsible for building nearly three thousand libraries in the US as well as a few hundred in the UK. He also founded three research institutes in Pittsburgh and Washington. Andrew was a firm believer of higher education and this prompted him to create the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is better known as the Carnegie Mello University today. He was also instrumental in starting the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Andrew also wanted world peace to become an important agenda for governments, so he set an endowment fund to promote international peace.
