. There was a trend of migration within the U.S. from urban to rural cities.
The Industrial Revolution created more jobs in rural than urban areas.

Answer 1

The statement "There was overseas migration from Europe and Asia to U.S. port towns." correctly evaluates the cause of increased migration to the U.S. during this time period. The population distribution table likely shows an increase in urban population due to the influx of immigrants from Europe and Asia to U.S. port towns, which would have contributed to the overall growth of the U.S. population.
