24 Jul 1822 Jahr - Effects of the Market Revolution

Beschreibung:

The market revolution in the US led to an increase in the economy. The standard of living rose in the US, and a middle class was emerging. As cities urbanized, many women changed their old European lifestyle and began to become less dependent on their husbands, and had fewer children. More economic opportunities were present in the US compared to Europe, which allowed for greater social mobility. The institution of slavery only increased during this time period, further sementing sectionalism between the north and the south.
