As Industries began to rise in the late 1800's people were on the run to try and find things that weren't discovered yet. During the perioid of time oil started to become a major investemtnt, and the demand for it began to get higher. It became the prominnet fuel in big cities at this time, and it was also used as a lubricant for the machinery that was found in the factoires. Edwin L. Drake was a man hired to go and extract oil from the ground in Pensylvania. After a while of digging he and his team hit a oil pocket. Soon after, people all over the United States began to dig for oil. People were stricking pockets in Texas, and places all over. That soon started many oil companies, and business began to flourish from it.
