Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The industrial revolution of the late 19th century brought about many changes that affected the daily life of people in the U.S. It transformed largely rural, agrarian societies into industrialized, urban ones. People who were born into a society where the vast majority were involved in agriculture experienced an industrial revolution that radically changed how millions of people worked and where they lived. They would experience the migration of millions of people from rural America to the nation’s rapidly growing cities.

For example, goods that had once been painstakingly crafted by hand started to be produced in mass quantities by machines in factories, thanks to the introduction of new machines and techniques in textiles, iron making and other industries. This led to more efficient, mechanized production which meant that factories could meet the growing demand for goods both at home and abroad.
