This area of the USA contains many of the largest cities in the country such as New York and Washington. To the west of this area few people live, excluding major cities like Chicago and Las Vegas.

Changes such as large groups of people leaving the heartland, relocation to the south and west, and cities being repopulated are big factors in this movement. These changes have taken place due to economical reasons. People from rural areas are starting to move to find jobs because the loss of factory and agricultural jobs. Cities are starting to draw in young, educated people who are raising the cost of living in these areas, forcing poorer residents to move out.

    When discussing change in the late 1800 's a few things come to mind, but the progression of capitalism was a major catalyst for most of them. Capitalism is an economic system of free market. It promotes private or corporate ownership of goods from investments based upon price, production, and distribution of goods. This new idea tended to promise wealth and stability, but when the distinction between the working lower class and bourgeoisie became more evident, people were irritated.

In a trip to Chicago Rudyard…

America evolved into a land of factories, corporate enterprise, and industrial worker and, the surge in immigration supplied their workers. In the latter half of the 19th century, continued industrialization and urbanization sparked an increasing demand for a larger and cheaper labor force.

To better explain this event in American history it would be best to start with the chain of events that caused it in the first place. That starting point would have to be the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This was an announcement that was laid out to say that if any state if not by the start of the 1863 that is in rebellion would have all there slaves declared…
