Detailed explanation-1: -The steam engine turned the wheels of mechanized factory production.
Detailed explanation-2: -“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.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Advances in farm machinery allowed for greater production with less manual labor, thus leading many Americans to seek job opportunities in the burgeoning factories in the cities.
