Thesis Statement
Nikola Tesla's inventions were a turning point in history because they gave people the use of electricity, let people make new inventions today, and made people's lives much easier now than back then.
Historical Context
During Nikola Tesla's life, there was not much use of electricity. When Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and more grew up, they found ways to use this electricity. Eventually, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison came up with ways to distribute this energy to places such as buildings and homes across the country. This changed American's lives forever as they could use this new power source to make their lives easier. Without Nikola Tesla's or Thomas Edison's invention, our lives would be much harder than it is today.
