Answer 1

Industrialization  in America is the major factor which led to the development of huge commercially active cities.

Explanation:

Homestead act ensured that the farmers were given a share of fertile lands and thus the lands were converted to agricultural farms. Some farmers faced the negative blow of receiving non fertile lands and hence they moved to many arid and semi arid regions in the west like Kansas. home made goods were replaced by industrial goods and there weer also shift in taste and preferences of the people. Construction of railroad companies attracted many Asian immigrants as construction workers which improved their livelihood.

During industrialization, many free laborers immigrated and settled in America as coolies. gradually, the working class seemed to earning remarkably a huge money and they started to advance to the next higher strata in the society. The working class people advanced to be middle class people, who also became a petty business owners. As  the working class gained much economic sustenance, the bitterest obstacle came in their way and that is automation. Workers were replaced by machines. The construction companies of railroads powered the industrial economy. Coal mines and Steel plants were also established which earned huge revenue to the developing America during the nineteenth century.
