From the era of reconstruction to the end of the nineteenth century, the United States experienced economic transformation characterized by industrial economic maturity, the rapid expansion of large enterprises, the development of large scale agriculture and the nationwide increase of labor force. Labor disputes with labor unions
Technological innovation that occurred in the second half of the 19th century promoted the continued growth of the economy. However, with the emergence of American companies and the emergence of large companies, the production capacity of the country is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people. Mechanization has also expanded agriculture to the field of large enterprises, making America the world's leading food producer country. However, the hunger for white Americans is still increasing. This led to the fight against indigenous Americans in the plain and "second large evacuation of indigenous peoples from their ancient homes".
What is indispensable for this growth and development is an unprecedented surge in immigration and urbanization after the civil war. American society is in transition. South & Eastern European immigrants from Asia, Mexico, and Central America are creating a new American mosaic. Anglo-Saxon's Protestant power once dominated began to decline
However, many people think that it is progress, others are worried. For example, modernization of agriculture confused family farms and caused unprecedented protests by domestic farmers' organizations. The social problem accompanying national industrial development causes the rise of the national trade union and conflict of unprecedented capital and labor. This dissatisfaction attracted attention of reformists and politicians who began to challenge traditional political party politics through third party movements.
In the late nineteenth century America experienced tremendous growth of industrialization. Under the guidance of petroleum, steel and other manufacturing industries, the United States became one of the world's leading producers of manufactured goods by 1900.

From 1870 to 1900, the United States became one of the world's most powerful and rapidly growing industrialized countries. Since the early 20th century, the industrial revolution in the manufacture of cotton and wool textile products has changed the production of most daily necessities. From the point of view of foodstuffs, apparel, electric appliances and automobiles, the huge production volume of industrial production has brought the rise of large enterprises as it adjusts the distribution and selling methods to create infrastructure for consumer culture . In the latter part of the nineteenth century, with the emergence of companies such as Carnegie Steel, JP Morgan, Standard Oil Company, countries were dramatically formed from a political, social and economic point of view, and today a new modern financial and monopoly I am doing that. Industrial growth is driven primarily by excessive resources, immigrants and cheap labor, and major technological advances that expand the capabilities of various industries.
Between 1860 and 1900, many important factors contributed to the phenomenal industrial growth of the United States. Before this industrialization began, America was mainly a farm and a small town. The development of factories and cities quickly changed everything. The railway
