urban population rural population
which of these would play the biggest role in the beginning of the trend shown in the graph?
a industrial revolution
b civil war
c congressional reconstruction
d abolition movement

Explanation:

The graph shows the trend of urban and rural population distribution in the United States. The Industrial Revolution led to the growth of factories in urban areas, attracting people from rural areas to cities for jobs, which began the trend of increasing urban and decreasing rural population. The Civil War (1861 - 1865), Congressional Reconstruction (1865 - 1877), and Abolition Movement (aimed at ending slavery) did not have as significant an impact on the urban - rural population trend at its beginning as the Industrial Revolution.

Answer:

A. Industrial Revolution
