Because there were bigger, stronger, older nations that would
have loved to get their hands on that rich territory that the United
States covered ... France, England, Spain, etc. Washington knew
that the young USA could only survive as a nation if the people
remained united, and all those things ... taking sides in international
conflict (not remaining neutral), national debt, sectionalism (north
against south, east against west, old states against new states),
political parties (Whigs against Tories, Republicans against
Democrats), are things that could set groups of the people
against each other.
Industrialization - the United States was primarily a farming country up to the Industrial Revolution. With industrialization came a total switch in the types of jobs people performed. Working in a factory or an office is completely different from working a farm.
Immigration - with all these new factory jobs being created the need for cheap almost expendable labor was required. Industries knew this and encouraged immigration; immigrants knew this and flocked to America to work the factories for a decent wage (at least to them). Native-born Americans didn't like this - immigrants took their jobs, and at lower wages!
Urbanization - in the reverse of farming communities, great cities arose surrounded by factories and offices. The jobs were there, but the pollution spewed by industry and the low wages paid was not much of an improvement over dirt-poor farming.
On the whole, the switch from an agrarian society (farming) to an industrial society (big factories in big cities) played havoc with American life. Hope this helps a lot by By Hugi445:)
