D. The poor living conditions of the working class in industrial cities
Explanation:
Lincoln Steffens is remembered for his work on the corruption and the life of working class in industrial America which he compiled in his book called the Shame of the City.
It delved into the deep seated corruption and systemic exploitation which was rampant in the big industries of the country which were booming with profits but were designed to exploit the common man.
His study on the exploitation on the working class was instrumental in getting more worker rights for them.
Following WWI the American public and also those in government believed that this war was a disaster and they sought to prevent U.S. entry into major wars such as what came at the outbreak of WWII. There were also laws in place such as the Neutrality Acts which prevented the U.S. from selling arms or supporting states that were actively at war. These provisions were eventually disregarded when the U.S. entered the war on the side of the Allies.
Colonists were not offended but they were mad because colonists were already in the west to grow their food.
The major effect of the Agricultural Revolution in the 1800s was the increase in the food supply, which was able to feed the urban dwellers. Any family who agreed to settle on a land for at least five years was given that land for free. The farmers were isolated from each other due to large acres of land each farmer owned. Farmers started buying machinery for agriculture and were in debt and severe competition prevailed. The conditions of the farmers became harsh and a political movement started for the farmers. The productivity still increased and the population of the US also doubled.
