the process of bringing together many firms in the same business to form one large company
Our industrial revolution generally took root in the latter 1800's near large cities, often ones with ports. Places like Chicago had enormous rail access which made it easier for large companies to expand further through vertical/horizontal integration. Urban population grew to unseen levels as a result of rural/foreign migration as well. If you're looking for specific city names, they're usually cities that are either near ports, major rail hubs, or large natural resources. Chicago, pittsburg, Boston, New York, etc.
The industrial revolution led the way for more advances in history. it was a time when machines became a major thing around the world.

Horizontal and vertical consolidation are ways in which businesses can try to expand. Vertical consolidation involves buying firms up or down the supply chain. For example - a firm might buy companies that provide it with the materials it needs to produce the goods. It is buying other companies that do not compete with it, but are part of making or selling the product it made originally.
Horizontal integration/consolidation allows lower costs as it produces a larger company. Larger company produces more services and products. The higher output leads to greater economies of scale and higher efficiency. The integrated company can offer more produce or service as well. These factors lead to an increase in market power, reduced competition and access to new markets.
Using horizontal consolidation, Rockefeller took hold of the entire petroleum refining process. He ruled only that part of the process, and revolutionized it. Someone like Andrew Carnegie used vertical consolidation, in which he controlled every aspect of the steel business, from mining to manufacturing to transporting to selling.
It's called horizontal consolidation. It's like Pizza Hut owning patingtons, little ceasers, papa johns,and papa Murphy's

Vertical consolidation and factors such as economies of scale will help companies dominate their markets because more people will buy what a big business sells because it will cost less. Poor people will be able to buy the product because it will be cheap like a dollar instead of going to a small business's were it would cost twice as much.
