How did Britain's population growth from 1830 to 1870 to 1900 compare to the US growth?

Answer 1

Between 1830 and 1900, Britain's population growth was significant but slower than that of the United States. In Britain, the population grew from about 13 million in 1830 to around 30 million by 1900, driven by the Industrial Revolution and improvements in public health. In contrast, the U.S. population surged from roughly 12 million in 1830 to about 76 million by 1900, fueled by high Immigration rates and westward expansion. Thus, while both countries experienced growth, the U.S. growth rate was markedly higher during this period.
