Everyday citizens have played an important role in the fight to win civil rights for marginalized groups in the United States of America because every citizen put pressure on the government to accept their opinion if all the citizens strikes against the government.
The citizens have to block the roads and closed the shops until their demands are accepted of giving civil rights to marginalized groups. In this way the government accept their demands.
It is very effective when everyday citizens have been in securing equal rights for these groups because the government does not destroy their image and country's economy by rejecting their demands and it will accept their demands.
Many Americans left farms and headed to the cities because the industrial revolution opened up many jobs in the cities. Also, the industrial revolution created more farm technology that allowed farmers to do the day's work with fewer people. This led to mass unemployment and peoples' dispersal into cities. This also caused cities to grow.
