Well Industrialization began and both were receiving mass amounts of immigrants.
Because of the discovery of gold in San Francisco in 1848, many people began moving west to search for wealth and fame. The United States was discovering many things underground...gold, silver, and oil. These were some of the natural resources the United States had at the end of the 1800s.
Exports were the raw materials or finished products that the colonists traded or sold to other countries. Does this help?
