Detailed explanation-1: -What was an important effect of industrialization in the United States in the later part of the nineteenth century? People began to move from cities to rural areas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Industrial Revolution caused towns to turn into cities, and existing cities to swell, both in terms of population-with new arrivals from Europe and rural areas of the United States-as well as their geographic footprint, now that they were home to factories and other buildings required in manufacturing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Industrial expansion and population growth radically changed the face of the nation’s cities. Noise, traffic jams, slums, air pollution, and sanitation and health problems became commonplace. Mass transit, in the form of trolleys, cable cars, and subways, was built, and skyscrapers began to dominate city skylines.
Detailed explanation-4: -The industrialization of farms ushered in an increase in the unemployment of farm labor. These individuals, now jobless, moved to urban centers where large factories were growing and in need of manual, skilled labor to work the machines. Families often moved together as workers needed to be closer to their jobs.
