The true appearance of industrialization is found in the cities booming with factories, harsh working conditions, and poor labor discipline in terms of environmental protection. I personally think the Earth started getting filled with fumes and pollution at that time of progressive era, which was not “environmentally progressive” at all. I am sure there were no restrictions on how much smoke each factory sent into atmosphere, and nobody was regulating on how it affected the neighboring animal and plant world.
As the booming for car in 1910s, more people worked in car industrial than before. More and more southerners came to north to seek factory job. Because these new industries, more people found job in factory, United States was transferring from agricultural to industrial economy.
