Question

Early urban areas in north America tended to develop

Answer 1

Years of industrial widening after Civil War brought important changes to American society.  

Country became highly urban and new cities grew in population and size with huge buildings pushing cities upward and transportation systems extending them outward.  

Part of urban population growth was forced by an unprecedented mass immigration towards United States that continued unabated in the first 2 decades of the 20th century.  

Promise that America held for new immigrants contrasted sharply with rise of legalized segregation of African‐Americans in the South after renovation.  

Ongoing industrialization and urbanization left shadows on how people spent their daily lives and their leisure time.
