Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25, 1835, in Dunfermline, Scotland, a town that had once been wealthy but was declining by the mid-19th century.

As a result, the family faced severe poverty, forcing Andrew’s mother, Margaret, to work long hours mending shoes and running a small grocery shop to make ends meet.
