Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1870 and 1910, the number of Americans employed in agriculture fell by a third. This was due to the spread of new agricultural equipment. The main source of replenishment of the army of wage workers in the cities was the impoverished peasants who moved to the cities. The population moved from rural areas to cities in order to find work in large factories and manufactories.
