Answer with Explanation:

The "Industrial Revolution" had a profound effect on the development of the the United States, from social to economic.

  • Advances in technology made the production fast. For example, horses were used to power the machineries and this led to more production of crops. It even created a surplus of goods.
  • The improvement of railways and canals led to more people traveling, which also meant trading domestically hastened.
  • Communication also developed with the help of the electrical telegraph. This connected more people together and increased the business transactions.

Though there were many advantages of the Industrial Revolution, it had some negative consequences like segregating the people into different social classes. The pollution in the environment also increased.
