The Rise of an Urban Order (1870-1900)

Chapter in Perspective

Accompanying the rise of industrial systems was the rise of modern industrial cities. Like the factories and mills, they had a profound effect on American life. Cities became the indispensable nodes of the new industrial order. They provided capital, labor, and markets as they grew and profited from the industries they attracted. They also attracted people --some from the hinterlands of America, others from abroad. The city-bred mix of cultures soon dominated America life. The problems bred by cities just as quickly came to dominate American reform.
