Answer 1

The U.S. prospered from overseas trade and increased prosperity for its citizens.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. As a result of the Industrial Revolution, the United States prospered from overseas trade and increased prosperity for its citizens.

The Industrial Revolution came to the United States as an echo of the Industrial Revolution that occurred in Britain and Europe at the end of the 18th century.

This process, that is, the change from manufacturing production to mechanized production and the development of factories, completely transformed the country.

In the United States, it took place between 1820 and 1870, and revolutionized the economy, society, lifestyle, being the cause in turn of the trade union movements, when the workers carried the greater weight of change.

With the Industrial Revolution emerged the large cities and new social classes and the country was completely transformed by unifying with a better transport and communications system.
