Question

Using only one region of America, either South, West, or Urban Centers, identify at least three conflicts or successes that region experienced during the Industrial Period. In addition, discuss how these conflicts and successes affected the region in the future.

Answer 1

The disproportionate concentration of the immigrant community in cities and nonagricultural employment in 1880 meant that their progeny were proximate to the exploding growth of employment in factories, offices, and retail trade in the late 19th and early 20th century. The 3rd generation immigrants, with their American education, were probably able to rise above the less desirable jobs on the factory floor and found employment as foremen and even in the front office.
