Description

IMPORTANT: It is crucial that you read and re-read “More About Discussion Boards” under the “Syllabus & Course Info” tab before beginning.  (I’ll put the discussion instructions below.)

Background: In this module you learned that industrialization was a driving factor for immigration during the 2^nd half of the 19^th century and into the early 20^th century.  Industrial expansion created jobs, brought immigrants, and resulted in increased urbanization.  It could be argued that industrialization had both positive and negative effects on the United States.
