The rise of industrialism and the creation of big cities

City life was exciting with new inventions and activities, including electricity and the telephone.

Construction of tenement housing allowed more people to live in smaller areas.

There was a high demand for factory labor, e.g., steel mills, meatpacking plants, garment factories.

Farmers and African Americans moved to cities for opportunities

Most of the land was already divided among people in the West, so there was little opportunity for new immigrants.

African Americans sought a better life than in the rural South.

Farmers looked for a better life from the harsh weather and poor soil in the West.

Cause …

Cause …
