What Is Rural America

Rural America. Each side had its own atmosphere. The Rural area was a small town with a population less than 45,000 people. The people there had a more traditional view of religion, science, and culture. The farm prices declined dramatically and the agricultural incomes were low. Farmers became bankrupt and they weren't making enough money. Women were still conservative and didn't take advantage of their freedom. On the other hand, Urban America was occupied by more than 50,000 people. People focused more on education and the area was full of moneymakers and pleasure seekers. It experienced an economic boom so it became more liberal and open for the outer world. It was a place for new ideas and inventions; people had electricity and easy communication
tools. Women became stronger and free. It was the beginning of modern America.
The gap between the two sides led to the emergence of the KKK, and not only in the South this time. They humiliated the blacks and kept them down and preserved the white values only.
