The South constructed textile mills, factories, and thousand of miles of railroad as a result of D. HENRY W. GRADY 's efforts.
Henry Woodfin Grady was a journalist and an orator. He helped reintegrate the states of the former Confederacy into the Union after the American Civil War. It was also through his oratorical skills that he encouraged the industrialization of the South.
He popularized an antithesis between the "old south" and "new south". "Old south" being the period where everything is reliant on slavery and agriculture, not knowing that to rely on these things can not maintain healthy growth. "New south" being a period where everyone is thrilling with the consciousness of growing power and prosperity.
He also promoted the creation of the Georgia Institute of Technology, a state vocational-education school erected to train workers for new industries.

Push factors:
Many areas in Europe were overpopulated in regards to the productivity of the land, and this caused frequent famines, land conflicts, and political instability.
Many areas in Europe had tyrannical governments were civil liberties were not respected.
Europe had several religious denominations that were persecuted all over the land, and this prompted their members to emigrate to the United States where they would enjoy the freedom to practice their faith.
The Wilmot Proviso pointed to trouble ahead in the debate over the expansion of slavery.
In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico. His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery. Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate. The high-intensity debate over slavery and the expansion of slavery was evidenced by how things went with the "Wilmot Proviso."
Copernicus was going up against everything and everyone, namely the Church. Copernicus would put forth the idea the heliocentric universe. This meant that the sun was at the center and not the earth. This could be taken to mean (and was by many) that God had not placed Man at the Center of the Universe. The idea that there was more that could occupy God than our existence and we were not the most important creature or thing was mind blowing.
