How has the US changed from an agrarian rural society to an industrial urban society?

Answer 1

USA took idea's from the industrial revolution in europe(mainly england) which started by these -

· The First Industrial Revolution, which began in the 18th century, merged into the Second Industrial Revolution around 1850.

· Great Britain provided the legal and cultural foundations that enabled entrepreneurs to pioneer the Industrial Revolution.

· Starting in the latter part of the 18th century, there began a transition in parts of Great Britain's previously manual labor and draft-animal-

based economy towards machine-based manufacturing.

· The introduction of steam power fuelled primarily by coal, wider utilization of water wheels, and powered machinery-mainly in textile manufacturing-underpinned the dramatic increases in production capacity.

· The effects spread throughout Western Europe and North America during the 19th century, eventually affecting most of the world, a process that continues as industrialization today.

USA, Today is one of the most industrilized countries in the world. South Korea, Japan and few more exceed USA.

Answer 2

This usually occurs with the development of technology. As technological advances are made, less people are required to manage the farms that feed the population. Urban migration occurs and lower class workers move into cities to work in factories and the economy becomes more manufacturing-based.

Answer 3

If you are referring to urbanization during the industrial revolution era, the impact is that many Americans left their farms for factory jobs in the city. The steady wages resulted in the emergence of a middle class.
