From the era of Reconstruction to the end of the 19th century, the United States underwent an economic transformation marked by the maturing of the industrial economy, the rapid expansion of big business, the development of large-scale agriculture, and the rise of national labor unions and industrial conflict.

Answer 2

Answer:

There came drastic changes in the landscapes of America in the nineteenth century. These changes occurred because of the following reasons:

(1) Some of the migrants from Britain and France wanted to own land in America. They were younger sons and were therefore not able to inherit their father’s property.

(2) Several immigrants from Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc., had lost their lands to big farmers. They wanted farms that they could own.

(3) People from Poland wanted to work in the prairie grasslands, which reminded them of the steppes of their homes. They were excited at being able to buy huge properties at very low prices in America.

Changes :-

(1) The Europeans cleared land and developed agriculture. They introduced crops like rice and cotton. These crops did not grow in Europe and therefore could be sold in Europe for profit.

(2) To protect their huge farms from wild animals such as wolves and mountain lions, they hunted them to extinction.

(3) They surrounded their farms with barbed wire.
