In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify
its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast
development of society following the introduction of machines. The United
States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key
technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production.
Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell.
The abundance caused food prices to fall.
The expansion of cotton and the growth
factories in northern states
helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to
work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of
immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for
work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to
urban areas.
As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more
people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working.
They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more.
About seven percent of U. S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of
cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years,
especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in
cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860
and would soon reach one millionanization of the United States quickened due to technology
improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not
have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued
throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near
cities than they did in rural areas.

the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'
see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover
and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.
see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.
'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!
and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,
to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
