A biggie: the transcontinental railroad. Because it would economically improve wherever it was, both the North and the South competed for the railroad to be in their respective territory, evidenced by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Gadsen Purchase and induction of California as a free state in 1860.

In addition: people could get land cheap because it was abundant and might leave to start afresh economically.

There's other stuff I can't remember as clearly, but there's a little and I hope it helps :)

Globalization is the process of transformation of people, money, and material from local to the global worldwide level. It's the integration and interaction of business and customers across or beyond borders.

Economic globalization includes the goods, services, technology, and capital and data to the expanding global markets where activities of exchange of goods and services take place.

Currently FDI, export and import and trade blocs all have risen due to technological processes that make the single market economy.

The cultural globalization refers to the transfer of an idea, meanings and moral values around the world in such a way that extends the social relations. Technology has made possible the cross-culture communication and everyone has benefited from it.

Thus globalization is good as long as it keeps the world connected and eliminating gender disparities.
