To what extent did the World’s Fair of 1893 impact the United States of America?

Background As of today, Chicago is the third largest city in the United States, after New York and Los Angeles. There are more than 3 million people here, but it is not so. When the city was built in 1833, it was "There were only 350 adventure residents in less than half square miles on both sides of the main road of the Chicago River, most of them were men" (Abu-Lughod 49) . Even though the year passed, the city continued to grow, and by 1870 "the economic base changed dramatically" (51).

The 1893 Colombian Expo in Chicago lasted only six months, which had a great impact on the city of Chicago and its people, and even the whole country. Until the history of 1893, the United States did not do anything on the scale of the Expo. The Chicago World Expo is the best way for the United States to object to this. Its formal purpose is to celebrate Columbus' discovery of the 400th anniversary of America. When fairing, they compete directly with France, and France just established a fantastic exhibition just a few years ago. This is the content of the book "Devil in White City: Murder, Magic and Madness Change the Fairness of the United States." Erik Larson accurately explains the period of the 1893 Chicago World Expo, also known as the author of this book and also World Columbia Expo. In this book, Erik Larson created two separate but connected plotlines

The total cost of the wheel is $ 300,000.00. Mr. Ferris' invention is the largest wheel ever. It weighs 1,300 tons (this is the weight of about 2,000 cattle). Ferris wheel carries 25 floors and carries over 1,400 passengers. Passengers can see fifty miles from the top of the ride. It took twenty minutes for a giant wheel to make one complete turn.
