What were two results of industrialization in the United States during the mid-1800s
1. The rapid growth of urban areas: Industrialization led to the establishment of factories and mills in urban centers, which attracted a large influx of people seeking employment. This resulted in the rapid expansion of cities and towns as workers flocked to industrial centers in search of better economic opportunities.
2. The rise of large corporations: Industrialization led to the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few large corporations that dominated key industries such as steel, oil, and railroads. These corporations wielded significant influence over the economy and politics, shaping government policies and regulations to suit their interests. This consolidation of power contributed to growing income inequality and the emergence of a class-based society in the United States.
