As the US became industrialized, the farmers suffered in many ways. The primary way being loss of farm land. Other reasons that they could suffer include most people moving to the city, or finding other jobs. As industrial work was more efficient and required less work space, many turned to the industrial industry. Hope this helps!

Answer:

By the coming of Industrialization in America, it started changing the society in social and economic. Farmers were suffering because they were facing a decrease in the prices of their crops because of the rapid industrialization that led in the competition with the others. Another reason because people were moving to urban areas for working in the factories where they could earn money giving lesser efforts than working in the fields.
