Several key changes occurred during this time: 1. Economic Changes: • Industrialization: The emergence of factories and mechanized production processes led to increased efficiency and the mass production of goods. • Transportation Revolution: Improved transportation networks, such as canals, roads, and later railroads, facilitated the movement of goods and people over longer distances, expanding markets and trade. • Commercial Agriculture: Farmers transitioned from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture, producing crops and livestock for sale in distant markets. • Rise of Capitalism: The Market Revolution fostered the growth of capitalism, with entrepreneurs and investors playing a more significant role in economic development. 2. Social and Demographic Changes: • Urbanization: The growth of industries and trade led to the rise of urban centers. Cities expanded rapidly, attracting rural populations seeking employment opportunities. • Migration and Immigration: People moved from rural areas to cities, and there was also increased immigration from Europe. This influx of labor fueled the industrial workforce and contributed to the diversity of American society.
