Explanation:

• Long travel to get to a post office: Rural areas in the late 1800s were sparsely populated, so post - offices were not as readily accessible as in cities.
• Cleaner living conditions and fresher air: Rural areas had less industrialization and fewer people in a given area, leading to cleaner air and living conditions compared to crowded cities.
• No electricity, telegraph or telephone services: Rural areas were slower to adopt new technologies like electricity, telegraphs, and telephones compared to urban centers which were hubs of innovation and infrastructure development.
• More structures built closer together: Urban cities had a higher population density, so buildings were constructed closer together.
• Better economic opportunities: Cities had a variety of industries (factories, businesses etc.), offering more diverse economic opportunities than the mainly agricultural - based rural areas.
• Children working long hours like adults: In urban factories (a common urban economic activity in the late 1800s), child labor was prevalent, with children working long hours similar to adults.
• Factories hiring lots of workers: Factories were mainly located in urban areas, and they required a large workforce.
