Urban populations surged due to two main factors: immigration and in-migration. Immigrants sought better opportunities, while farmers and African Americans migrated to cities for jobs and improved living conditions. Cities transformed as poor families settled in old neighborhoods, creating a bustling atmosphere filled with factories and small homes.
