Detailed explanation-1: -Immigrants were generally more willing to accept lower wages and inferior working conditions than native born workers (Zolberg 2006: 69).

Detailed explanation-2: -The American Industrial Revolution, sometimes referred to as the Second Industrial Revolution, began in the 1870s and continued through World War II. The era saw the mechanization of agriculture and manufacturing and the introduction of new modes of transportation including steamships, the automobile, and airplanes.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the biggest political impacts of the American Industrial Revolution was the US rising to a world power position. Increased domestic and foreign trade opportunities strengthened the economy and encouraged the government to become more involved in foreign relations.
