Step-by-step explanation:

This is the most accurate description of the Industrial Revolution as a whole.

Before the Industrial Revolution, many of the US residents still abode in family farms, where they grew cash or food crops, and sold them, while buying needed supplies from nearby towns. However, with the industrialization of the US, many moved into cities in search for something "new" or a labor job that brought consistent paychecks. With these movements, more people settled in the growing cities, while population in the outlying areas slowly died down. This led to a overpopulation in the cities, which led to the development of suburban areas later on.
