The Development of Early American Cities

From the end of 1600 to the middle of the 1800s, the initial city of the United States was considered in two different ways. Firstly, they are places promised to provide opportunities for all residents. They can become places where prosperity and new exciting things happen. Secondly, in the reverse sense, they are considered to be immoral and polluted places that could potentially poison humans and the whole of the United States. People like President Jefferson and Benjamin Rush will soon be able to tell early urban problems.

This city grew from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.

At the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, millions of new residents and industrial pollution have arrived, and the living environment has deteriorated in the American cities. Gradual reformists are trying to improve the situation in the city. One area of ​​incremental reform is education. There were laws in 31 states to allow children to attend school until 14 years by 1900. However, by 1910, only 8% of the students graduated from high school.
