It increased because industrialization & mass production came to replace lots of jobs. So a farmer for example was replaced by machines and so he and his family would have to move from a rural area (farm) to an urban area (city) to get work doing hard labor in factories. The size of cities also grew because at this time the railroads made getting from places easier than ever and allowed many people to move to cities. Cities were also were many companies would set up factories and workers moved their to be closer to their jobs

Answer:

A divided regional identity (with a bit of national unity) developed.

Explanation:

Politics: Some contributed (voting rights) to unity, others (nullification) clearly divided the country.

Economics: Market revolution was a bit of both but Tariffs and the clash between the industrial north and the agricultural south was dividing the country and contributed to a regional identity.

Foreign Policy: The war of 1812 united the country; the westward expansion was uniting and dividing at the same time.

As we take in account that Economics is always the most important thing for the general public, the regional identity grew more than the national unity did.
