What effects did the migration from rural areas to the cities in the late 19th century have on uran soucty?

Answer 1

Migration from rural areas to cities in the late 19th century had a few effects on urban society. Since racism was still prevalent, many businesses were still segregated and different races received very different treatment. There were also more jobs in the city, so migration to cities from rural areas increased and expanded the business market as opposed to the farming industry. The large increase in city populations, in turn, created many health issues such as unclean living conditions, prevalent crime, and greater fire risk.
