You start with the first question and continue down the line.

Describe and evaluate the Industrial Revolution and its social, political, economic, and cultural impacts on Americans.

For this question, define the Industrial Revolution. Then tell how it affected American's social, political, economic, and cultural lives.

Your best source of information is your text book, especially since this appears to be a semester exam review.

You're welcome.

What does your book say about the impacts of the Industrial Revolution on Americans? I could give you my ideas, but your teacher is looking for the facts and ideas presented by your book.

During the late 19th century, immigrants poured in from Eastern Europe. They tended to live in large eastern cities and worked for low wages in the new factories. Your book will have more details.
