Explanation:

These questions are about historical aspects of the US, including economic differences between North and South, and immigration patterns. The subfield of Social Science - History is appropriate as it deals with historical events, economic history, and migration history.

L. Northern vs. Southern Economies

1. The Northern economy was industrial, so it was based on industry and factories.
2. The Southern economy was agricultural, relying on agriculture (like plantations) and enslaved labor.
3. With industrial growth, the North’s urban population (people in cities) increased rapidly.

M. Immigration

1. The Irish immigrated to the US mainly because of the potato famine (the Great Famine caused by potato blight).
2. Most Irish immigrants settled in northeastern cities (like New York, Boston) or "the United States" (specifically northeastern urban areas).
3. Many German immigrants moved to the Midwest (to find farmland, as the Midwest had arable land).
4. A "push factor" is something that forces people to leave a country (like hardship in their home country).
5. A "pull factor" is something that attracts people to a new country (like better opportunities).
6. Example Push Factor: The Irish Potato Famine pushed Irish people to leave Ireland as their main food source failed, causing starvation and poverty. Example Pull Factor: The availability of farmland in the US Midwest pulled German immigrants, as they could own land and farm, which was difficult in their home country due to overpopulation or lack of arable land.
