Answer: A Contribution is Something that Creates a Common Understanding and Helps Contribute to Society in Some Form.

Explanation:

History is like a puzzle, it helps create long term effects and short term effects that can help solve the puzzle. An artifact, a revolutionary scientific experiment, or a discovery, etc, can be a contribution to the past and the present. <em>It can both have long term and short term effects. It helps society understand more about the past and how that something may have helped the past.</em> Let's say that there was an ancient civilization, there wasn't much evidence that this civilization lived. Let's say hypothetically, a research team found an important discovery like a child's toy that shaped history and created a domino-like effect as to why that civilization impacted our culture/community today. The toy helped create entertainment for civilization. The toy from that civilization helps us understand and think about when/where the civilization could have lived, were they an advanced civilization, did they have their own society or tribe, were they advanced enough to understand the concepts of entertainment and fun? That's the kind of thing that makes something a contribution. Discoveries can also provide evidence of something like cold cases. Let's say we found out who/what exposed Anne Frank's family, that would impact the past and the present. That would be a major contribution because it would be the solution to a decades-long mystery and it would help bring justice to the family. Another example, what if scientists found in an alternate planet where an advanced society lived? Like Homo-Sapiens lived, that would impact both past and present due to the formation of the planet and if it provides answers to how our planet formed. It would also be an important discovery for future research. <em>Much of history is a contribution to the past and the present. *This might be my understanding*</em>

How did the beginning of the industrial Revolution in the United States and the growth of cities have a lasting impact on the Am
WITCHER [35]

Society was changing from rural (Country) to urban (City).

Explanation:

When the industrialization process started int he United States, the country started to change rapidly. Initially this process was not accepted the same everywhere, with the North embracing it while the South not being so fond of it but over time it took over all of the states.

The majority of the people lived in rural societies before the industrialization but once it started there was a massive shift of the population from the rural to the urban areas. This resulted in emptying of the rural areas and rapid increase in population and size of the cities. This happened first in the North, so huge cities rose like New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston etc.

The South was slower in this process because it thought that the agriculture does the job for it economically. That quickly changed though with the change of policy of the country, so once the economic troubles started there was sharp demographic switch from the rural to the urban areas in this part of the United States.
