Life in the North

Between 1830 and 1850, the Northern United States experienced significant economic growth and social change. This era was marked by the rise of family-owned mills and factories, a burgeoning urban population, and the development of industries including agriculture, commerce, and mining. Key events such as strikes by workers in Chicago highlight the struggles for labor rights amid rapid industrialization. This period laid the groundwork for the North's distinct economic identity, setting it apart from the agrarian South.
