Industrialization and urbanization played a major role in the economy during the period of 1865 to 1900. During this time Industrialization and urbanization was present in the north and gradually moved throughout the country. The affect this had on the average working American was more negative rather than positive. The negative effect brought political controversy resulting in riots, poor working conditions, child labor, death of workers, greed for the rich and immigrants also wanting to work and the positive effect was improving and developing the south. As industries, such as railroads and steel started to grow throughout the north, there was a greater need for workers. Not only did black people come from the south for these jobs, but Immigrants also started to come to the United States from other countries.
