Question

the most compelling reason immigration rose in the united states during the industrial revolution was because people were looking for personal freedom and jobs. looking for adventure and excitement. following relatives who immigrated. escaping their home countrys persecution.

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution in the US, industrialization created job opportunities. Also, the US was seen as a land of freedom (e.g., from certain restrictive social - class systems in Europe). People were attracted by the economic prospects (jobs) and the idea of personal freedom. Adventure and excitement were not the main economic - pull factors. While some followed relatives, the overarching reason was the combination of economic (jobs) and freedom aspects. Persecution - related immigration was more specific (e.g., for some religious groups in earlier periods or some political refugees, but not the most general reason during the Industrial Revolution).

Answer:

looking for personal freedom and jobs.
