Urbanization Mr. Turner

American Lives Change By 1900, around 30% of Americans lived in cities City life was an improvement over rural life There were many new factory jobs Women could enter the workforce Cities had better and far more schools

American Lives Change Immigrants poured into these big cities to find work Towns gained a lot of Immigrants from a particular region Rural people (farmers) moved to the cities to find work as well They moved to these cities because the Second Industrial revolution offered a better way to make a living

Technological Advancements Cities started building skyscrapers and growing upward rather than outward The safety elevator was created in the 1850s Cities started using mass transit in the late 1880s-1890s First subway was created in 1897 Upper and middle class people moved to the suburbs instead of the middle of the dirty, bustling cities

Urban Life All of the people moving to the cities created overcrowding People who could not afford to move to suburbs HAD to live in the cities They lived in tenement housing - cheap apartments designed to fit as many people as possible Several families would share one apartment or one room These became known as slums Tenement housing was dirty, unsanitary, and dangerous

Urban life Cities had unpaved streets full of all kinds of trash Alleys were dirty and nasty The tenements that actually had indoor plumbing rarely worked The housing was so close together fire could easily destroy many buildings A fire in Chicago in 1871 left 100,000 homeless

Urban life Crime was rampant in the streets after dark It is at this time that fire departments and police forces were created Racial and neighborhood groups were violent with each other and gangs started to form

Political Machines The problems in cities led to the rise of Political Machines A “Political Boss” would control supporters and areas of cities for money and power They would make promises to often ignorant immigrants in exchange for votes They controlled elections, fire departments, police departments, and city services They would give out city contracts to their supporters and friends for a kickback In exchange for the contract part of the money was given back

Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed The Tammany Hall political machine controlled the Democratic party for NYC for over fifty years Tammany Hall was ran by William “Boss” Tweed extremely corrupt Gained a lot of power and money from his leadership Defrauded NYC of over $30 million He was arrested on fraud and embezzlement charges in 1873 He was exposed by a cartoonist named Thomas Nast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p56Ok2ahtYk
