Conflicts and popular protests in what type of cities at the end of the 19th century included a widespread but ultimately ineffe
ctive protest movement among american farmers disadvantaged by commodity prices, railway fees, and farm mortgage policies that were controlled by urban businesses.
From colonial times into the early 20th century a majority of americans lived in the countryside and worked on farms. A dramatic expansion in farming took place from 1860 yo 1910. The number of farms tripled from two million in 1860 to 6 million in 1905. The number of people living on farms grew from about 10 million in 1860 to 22 million in 1880 to 31 million in 1905.
This means that the <em>cities at the end of the 19th century</em> were large because of the rural life. Although the eastern image of farm life on the prairies emphasizes the isolation of the lonely farmer and farm life, in reality rural folk created a rich social life for themselves.
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
Industrial
Globalized
Commercial
Urbanized
Conflicts and popular protests at the end of the 19th century originated in industrial cities. This is because industrial cities were the places where the most change was occurring. Protests in these cities were sometimes organized by farmers, as they believed themselves to be disadvantaged because of the changes that were taking place in the nation. These changes were often designed to benefit cities, which left farmers in a weaker position.
