Detailed explanation-1: -In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immigrants were pushed out of their home countries by economic factors (famine, unemployment, poverty) and political factors (political oppression, war). They were drawn to America, and New Hampshire, by the promise of jobs, freedom, and greater opportunities.
Detailed explanation-3: -Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly inadequate quarters. Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.
Detailed explanation-4: -Colonies and far off lands were easier to reach due to the invention of steam propelled ships. Merchants and Industrialists could open up offices in far off lands and profit from the emerging markets there. This led to migration of some workers. These migrants needed new homes, roads, services.
