Well an obvious answer would be slavery, depending on how late you're talking. After slavery ended, the country began what is known as the "industrial revolution". The north had already begun industrializing for a while, but in the 1870's and beyond, things ramped up quite a bit. Factories for clothes, shoes, farming equipment, packaged foods, and etc. became more popular. You also had coal mines, railroads, and steel mills. This showed the country was moving in the direction of mass production, and moving away from agricultural ways of living. This also meant child labor, which led to many child labor laws in the later years. This also meant many moved out of farming communities, and into larger, noisy, and crowded cities. Many immigrated to the US to take advantage of that, which led to some tension between communities.

Hope that helps!

How did Virginia’s population change after 1619

Georgia [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

The state of Virginia has always been quite diverse. But in the year 1619, it witnessed a massive inflow of Africans creating a cultural mix which became a part of Virginia. And the easiest way to earn more money in the state of Virginia was to grow tobacco. But the Native Americans failed to get the labor from the people. At first they relied on hiring labors from England and Europe. But this didn’t give them the number of workers they needed. Finally Virginia created its own slavery system. In this system the son born to a slave mother had to serve a slave for his entire life.
