Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following was a factor either pushing or pulling immigrants to the United States during the Industrial Revolution? Wars and overpopulation in Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -With the growth of factories and the demand for unskilled labor, immigrants, primarily young men in the working years, continued to be the ideal source of labor. Immigrants were generally more willing to accept lower wages and inferior working conditions than native born workers (Zolberg 2006: 69).
Detailed explanation-3: -Industrialization, along with great strides in transportation, drove the growth of U.S. cities and a rapidly expanding market economy.
