why and how did large cities become what one commentator called “seedbeds for reform” in the nineteenth century?

History
1 answer:
Ainat [17]3 years ago
8 0

Because of the various technological and industrial advancement, there was huge growth of cities in America.

Explanation:

Many new possibilities if employment were opened in America which allowed many immigrants to occupy in order to have a better livelihood. Transatlantic railroad construction companies observed Asians to be the cheapest form of labor and many Chinese were employed in the construction of it. Urbanization in America led to the growth of busy commercial cities like Boston, New York and Philadelphia.

Textile mills and many sweat shops attracted the women workers too. Although, cities sprang up to be developed during the nineteenth century, it also paved way for many reform movements like labor union movements, women suffrage movements.

What was it like to be an African American during the Jim Crow era?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Although I could never know the hardships that people went through during the era of Jim Crow, I would think that the African American community would be frustrated about how they had been treated during the time. People such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. stood up for themselves and their people and helped with the racial injustices. It must have been hard, and to be brought up in a community in which you are put down and segregated because of something as insignificant as the color of your skin, where racism was justified by people in power. Growing up with the mindset that people don't appreciate you because of how you look must have been hard to understand, but something that was frequent and became the mindset of many. To put it in simpler terms, it must have been extremely tough.

Explanation:

Again, these are just my thoughts on how people must have felt, I myself have not experienced any of these hardships in life and I hope I did not come across the wrong way.

Question 17 (Mandatory) (1 point)
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Notable differences are found in the way social life was structured among regions. For the people of the South, life emerged as rugged and rural while people of the North are heavily connected to the Church and village community. These cultural differences remained and shaped some of the confrontations that needed to be addressed during the Civil War .

Thus: True

Explanation:

Historical Background

Colonial America depended on the natural environment to meet basic needs of the people and the colony. The available natural resources provided (or in essence dictated) what each region’s unique specialty would be or become. Specialized economies quickly emerged as a result of human and environmental interaction.

Colonial America also had regional differences among culture or historical reason for establishment as a colony. The Southern Colonies were established as economic ventures and were seeking natural resources to provide material wealth to the mother country and themselves. In contrast, the early New England colonists were primarily religious reformers and separatists. They were seeking a new way of life to glorify God and for the greater good of their spiritual life. The Middle colonies welcomed people from various and diverse lifestyles. The social-political structure included all three varieties: villages, cities, and small farms.

Another difference is clearly noted in the human resources. New England had skilled craftsmen in the industry of shipbuilding. The Mid-Atlantic presented a diverse workforce of farmers, fisherman, and merchants. The Southern Colonies were primarily agricultural with few cities and limited schools. As these regions developed highly specialized economies, each could not supply everything that was needed or at least not as effectively as an interdependent system – they relied on each other for certain items or skills.

New England’s economy at first specialized in nautical or boating equipment, while later the region developed mills and factories. The environment is ideal for water-powered machinery (mills), which allowed for finished products to be crafted, such as woven cloth and metal tools. The middles colonies had rich farmland and a moderate climate. This made it a more suitable place to grow grain and livestock than New England. Their environment was ideal for small to large farms. The coastal lowland and bays provided harbors, thus the middle colonies were able to provide trading opportunities where the three regions meet in market towns and cities. The Southern colonies had fertile farmlands which contributed to the rise of cash crops such as rice, tobacco, and indigo. Plantations developed as nearly subsistent communities. Slavery allowed wealthy aristocrats and large landowners to cultivate huge tracts of land. When strictly examining the geography of New England compared to the South, it is plausible that the vast space of the Southern region influenced the way it remained rural and still today holds that as a sense of pride or shared experience/identity.

Notable differences are found in the way social life was structured among regions. For the people of the South, life emerged as rugged and rural while people of the North are heavily connected to the Church and village community. These cultural differences remained and shaped some of the confrontations that needed to be addressed during the Civil War
