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.
