Unit 3: Urbanization and Industrialization

Factories where everywhere

RECAP





In the 19th and 20th century, Urbanization and industrialization began to peek its head over the horizon. With factories popping up all over the place, rural farmers were being put out of jobs, so they all went to town to find jobs. This greatly increased the population, so new buildings, like a skyscraper where built to house the immense population. Therefore the cities grew.

REVISIT & REFLECT

I think New Orleans would be one of the most interesting cities to live in. I've been there once and I thought it was an awesome city full of culture and life. There are dozens of forts and lighthouses along the Mississippi River, as well as historical and artistic museums. They have a large aquarium and horse drawn carriages. Every year they hold their famous Mardi Gras parade and every ware you go, there's bound to be a street band or musicians. The only downside I can think of is the recent hurricane damage has caused the crime rate in the city to go up drastically. Other than that, I would think that New Orleans would be an awesome place to live.

  1. The revisit and reflect part needs more. It requires 2 sources on New Orleans to provide evidence of it's attractions, and of the negative things about it as well.
