In late 1800s, there was a rise in American industry and that happened because of the Urban occurrence. Immigrants came to settle in Urban areas because they sought available jobs.

Further Explanation:-

During the period of late 1800s, Americans from the rural areas moved to cities as they were motivated by large measures of industrialization. It is estimated that over 11 million people migrated from Rural areas to urban areas only between the period of 1870 to 1920 and around 25 immigrants migrated to United States during the same course of time and because of that it happened for the first time that more Americans were living in Urban Areas as compared to Rural areas. Most of the businesses as well as factories which were behind the industrial revolution were located in big towns and cities. Physical composition of cities was also changed during the second industrial revolution as the Bessemer steel making process made provided material means quickly and that brought to the rise of tall buildings which were also known as skyscrapers. The big cities offered job opportunities to people from rural areas and wages which they were given were better than what they used to earn in rural areas and this made people from rural areas to migrate to urban areas.
