America 1900

By 1900, the American frontier was largely

settled…

…convincing many to look for new opportunities in

cities such as…

…New York…

…Chicago…

…and San Francisco…

…where they joined millions of immigrants…

…working in factories…

…and living in overcrowded, unsanitary housing.

Technological advances would however, soon allow cities to

grow up…

…and out.

Other achievements of the period included developments

in aviation…

…communications…

…entertainment…

…and even shopping.

Americans in 1900 saw prosperity that led to changes

in their everyday lives…

…Still, many faced problems that called for reform in the

years to come.
