The impact of rapid industrialization on American Society changes the landscape drastically of the United States. The shift of power and energy to the cities and factories led to massive immigration and urbanization in search for work. Also the mechanization of the agricultural production made the US world's premier food producer due to high yield of harvest but it also left many farmers unemployed due to lesser manpower needed. Also the industrialization attracts a lot of immigrants around the world to flock the country.
Also capitalism started to rise due to the rise of businesses and corporations. Also the gap between the rich and the poor widens drastically. This is also the time when labor unions started to rise and the clash between the capitalist and labor unions clashed unprecedentedly. Also the environmental problems started to rise and pollution takes place more as more factories rises. Health problems also becomes a problem due to overpopulation in the cities and factories.
