What made farmers leave their farms and migrate to the big cities to work in factories?

Hey there!

Farmers had to leave their farms to go migrate and work in big cities because when all of the new cities were being built they were taking the land away from the farmers, then on top of that, the farmers had to sell there, at so cheap they weren't making enough money to run all the equipment and support a family.

Hope this helps!

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.

can someone me with this question:  

1) the end of the conflict between the north and the south didn’t just mark the end of a war; it marked the end of an entire way of life.” which statement best describes what this statement means?  

a) the southerners were no longer free and were controlled by the northern states.

b) the industrial economy in the north was not sustainable.

c) slavery became illegal, which changed completely the south’s labor force and the agricultural economy was destroyed.
