Detailed explanation-1: -The North had reserves of coal to produce power for factory machines, and it had an abundance of people to run the machines. Men and women were moving away from farms, and thousands of immigrants were entering the country every year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Industrialized manufacturing began in New England, where wealthy merchants built water-powered textile mills (and mill towns to support them) along the rivers of the Northeast. These mills introduced new modes of production centralized within the confines of the mill itself.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Industrial Revolution shifted from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy where products were no longer made solely by hand but by machines. This led to increased production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods, improved wages, and migration from rural areas to urban areas.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Cities grew because industrial factories required large workforces and workers and their families needed places to live near their jobs. Factories and cities attracted millions of immigrants looking for work and a better life in the United States.”
