Urbanization of America

America in its early years was pretty big on agriculture. Whether it was cotton, indigo, tobacco, or any grain or livestock, it was a pretty big part of american business and lifestyle. After the civil war and before the turn of the century, people started moving to the cities to live and work. There were many jobs in these cities because there were advancements in transportation and industry so huge companies, like those controlled by Rockefeller, created enormous amounts of jobs in these cities. This made people swarm to cities nationwide. I think this is funny because 50 years later, those same people left the same city they swarmed to. After the war, people left the city to live a better life. And now it seems, people are just getting lazier and lazier. People care more about personal satisfaction than true hard work. Just find that kind of interesting.
