expanded the economy

gold rush

oil boom

factories

cars

created new industries & new jobs which African Americans & women filled

westward expansion meant new farms which both men & women both equally worked the fields

new factories gave women a safe way at financial independence and created UNIONS which meant more rights and protections for people of all genders and races
