how did the industrial revolution change american society?
(1 point)
○ more americans were self - employed in city businesses.
○ many americans moved to farms to work with the new plowing technology.
○ a large number of americans left southern cities to go north.
○ a large percentage of americans became factory workers in cities.

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution led to the growth of factories. People moved to cities where these factories were located to work. This led to a shift from an agrarian - based society (where many were self - employed on farms) to an industrial - urban society with a large number of factory workers.

• More Americans were self - employed in city businesses: This is not the main change. The Industrial Revolution was more about factory - based employment rather than self - employment in general city businesses.
• Many Americans moved to farms to work with the new plowing technology: The Industrial Revolution was more about urbanization and factory work, not an increase in farm work.
• A large number of Americans left southern cities to go north: While there was some internal migration, the key change was the shift to factory work in cities (both northern and other industrializing cities), not just a north - south migration.

Answer:

A large percentage of Americans became factory workers in cities.
