The New Immigrants

In the 1870s two young brothers left Italy for America ldquoWe were so long on thewater that we began to think we should never get to America We were all landedon an island and the bosses there said that Francisco and I must go back because wehad not enough money but a man named Bartolo came up and told them that hewas our uncle and would take care of us We came to Brooklyn to a wooden houseon Adams Street that was full of Italians from Naples Bartolo had a room on the thirdfloor and there were fifteen men in the room all boarding with Bartolo It was veryhot in the room but we were soon asleep for we were very tiredrdquo

journey to the United States The tide of new-comers reached a peak in 1907 when nearly 13million people came to America

GeographyNew Immigration

In the mid-1880s the pattern of immigrationstarted to change Large groups of ldquonewrdquo immi-grants arrived from eastern and southernEurope Greeks Russians Hungarians ItaliansTurks and Poles were among the newcomersAt the same time the number of ldquooldrdquo immi-grants started to decrease By 1907 only about 20percent of the immigrants came from northernand western Europe while 80 percent camefrom southern and eastern Europe

Many of the newcomers from eastern andsouthern Europe were Catholics or Jews Fewspoke English Because of this they did notblend into American society as easily as theldquooldrdquo immigrants had Many felt like outsidersand they clustered together in urban neighbor-hoods made up of people of the same nationality

After 1900 immigration from Mexico alsoincreased In addition many people came to theUnited States from China and Japan They toobrought unfamiliar languages and religiousbeliefs and had difficulty blending into Ameri-can society

Leaving Troubles BehindWhy did so many people leave their home-

lands for the United States in the late 1800s andearly 1900s They were ldquopushedrdquo away by diffi-cult conditions at home and ldquopulledrdquo to theUnited States by new opportunities

Many people emigrated or left their home-lands because of economic troubles In Italyand Hungary overcrowding and poverty madejobs scarce Farmers in Croatia and Serbiacould not own enough land to support theirfamilies Sweden suffered major crop failuresNew machines such as looms put many craftworkers out of work

Persecution also drove people from theirhomelands In some countries the governmentpassed laws or followed policies against certainethnic groupsmdashminorities that spoke differentlanguages or followed different customs fromthose of most people in a country Members ofthese ethnic groups often emigrated to escapediscrimination or unfair laws Many Jews fledpersecution in Russia in the 1880s and came tothe United States

Seeking OpportunityImmigrants saw the United States as a land of

jobs plentiful and affordable land and opportu-nities for a better life Although some immi-grants returned to their homelands after a fewyears most came to America to stay

The Journey to AmericaImmigrants often had a difficult journey to

America Many had to first travel to a seaport toboard a ship Often they traveled for hundredsof miles on foot or on horseback and throughforeign countries to get to the port cities

Then came the long ocean voyage to Amer-icamdash12 days across the Atlantic or several weeksacross the Pacific Immigrants usually couldafford only the cheapest tickets and they trav-eled in steeragemdashcramped noisy quarters onthe lower decks

The Statue of LibertyMost European immigrants landed at New

York City After 1886 the magnificent sight of theStatue of Liberty greeted the immigrants as theysailed into New York Harbor The statue a giftfrom France seemed to promise hope for a betterlife in the new country On the base of the statuethe stirring words of Emma Lazarus an Ameri-can poet welcomed immigrants from Europe

ldquoGive me your tired your poorYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these the homeless tempest-tossed to me I lift my lamp beside the golden doorrdquo

Entering AmericaBianca De Carli arrived from Italy in 1913 as a

young girl Many years later she rememberedhow she felt as her ship reached New York City

ldquoWe all trembled because of the strangenessand the confusion Some were weak fromno movement and exercise and some were sickbecause of the smells and the unfresh air Butsomehow this did not matter because we nowknew it was almost overrdquo

Before the new arrivals could actually passthrough the ldquogolden doorrdquo to America they hadto register at government reception centers Inthe East immigrants were processed at CastleGarden a former fort on Manhattan Island andafter 1892 at Ellis Island in New York HarborMost Asian immigrants arrived in America onthe West Coast and went through the processingcenter on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay

Examiners at the centers recorded the immi-grantsrsquo namesmdashsometimes shortening or sim-plifying a name they found too difficult to writeThe examiners asked the immigrants wherethey came from their occupation and whetherthey had relatives in the United States Theexaminers also gave health examinations Immi-grants with contagious illnesses could berefused permission to enter the United States

Language highlightedthe differences betweengenerations Many immi-grant parents continuedto speak their native lan-guages Their childrenspoke English at schooland with friends but theyalso spoke their nativelanguage at home On the other hand the grand-children of many immigrants spoke only English

The role of immigrant women also changed inthe United States where women generally hadmore freedom than women in European andAsian countries New lifestyles conflicted withtraditional ways and sometimes caused familyfriction (See page 971 of the Primary Sources Library for one

womanrsquos account of leaving her native country)

Building CommunitiesMost of the new immigrants were from rural

areas Because they lacked the money to buyfarmland in America however they often set-tled in industrial cities With little or no educa-tion they usually worked as unskilled laborers

Relatives who had immigrated earlierhelped new arrivals get settled and people ofthe same ethnic group naturally tended to form

Immigrant children learn American ways in the classroom

common laborers in the early 1900s were immi-grant men They might work 12 hours a dayseven days a week

Many immigrants including women andchildren worked in sweatshops in the garmentindustry These were dark crowded workshopswhere workers made clothing The work wasrepetitious and hazardous the pay low and thehours long

Pauline Newman who later became an offi-cial in the International Ladiesrsquo Garment Work-ers Union worked in a New York sweatshop asa child She recalled

ldquoWe started work at seven-thirty in the morn-ing and during the busy season we worked untilnine in the evening They didnrsquot pay you anyovertime and they didnrsquot give you anything forsupper money Sometimes theyrsquod give you a lit-tle apple pie if you had to work very laterdquo

Adjusting to AmericaIn their new homes immigrants tried to pre-

serve some aspects of their own cultures At thesame time most wanted to assimilate orbecome part of the American culture These twodesires sometimes came into conflict

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

L E A R N I N G f r o m G E O G R A P H Y

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

591CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

The New Immigrants

In the 1870s two young brothers left Italy for America ldquoWe were so long on thewater that we began to think we should never get to America We were all landedon an island and the bosses there said that Francisco and I must go back because wehad not enough money but a man named Bartolo came up and told them that hewas our uncle and would take care of us We came to Brooklyn to a wooden houseon Adams Street that was full of Italians from Naples Bartolo had a room on the thirdfloor and there were fifteen men in the room all boarding with Bartolo It was veryhot in the room but we were soon asleep for we were very tiredrdquo

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

journey to the United States The tide of new-comers reached a peak in 1907 when nearly 13million people came to America

GeographyNew Immigration

In the mid-1880s the pattern of immigrationstarted to change Large groups of ldquonewrdquo immi-grants arrived from eastern and southernEurope Greeks Russians Hungarians ItaliansTurks and Poles were among the newcomersAt the same time the number of ldquooldrdquo immi-grants started to decrease By 1907 only about 20percent of the immigrants came from northernand western Europe while 80 percent camefrom southern and eastern Europe

Many of the newcomers from eastern andsouthern Europe were Catholics or Jews Fewspoke English Because of this they did notblend into American society as easily as theldquooldrdquo immigrants had Many felt like outsidersand they clustered together in urban neighbor-hoods made up of people of the same nationality

After 1900 immigration from Mexico alsoincreased In addition many people came to theUnited States from China and Japan They toobrought unfamiliar languages and religiousbeliefs and had difficulty blending into Ameri-can society

Leaving Troubles BehindWhy did so many people leave their home-

lands for the United States in the late 1800s andearly 1900s They were ldquopushedrdquo away by diffi-cult conditions at home and ldquopulledrdquo to theUnited States by new opportunities

Many people emigrated or left their home-lands because of economic troubles In Italyand Hungary overcrowding and poverty madejobs scarce Farmers in Croatia and Serbiacould not own enough land to support theirfamilies Sweden suffered major crop failuresNew machines such as looms put many craftworkers out of work

Persecution also drove people from theirhomelands In some countries the governmentpassed laws or followed policies against certainethnic groupsmdashminorities that spoke differentlanguages or followed different customs fromthose of most people in a country Members ofthese ethnic groups often emigrated to escapediscrimination or unfair laws Many Jews fledpersecution in Russia in the 1880s and came tothe United States

Seeking OpportunityImmigrants saw the United States as a land of

jobs plentiful and affordable land and opportu-nities for a better life Although some immi-grants returned to their homelands after a fewyears most came to America to stay

The Journey to AmericaImmigrants often had a difficult journey to

America Many had to first travel to a seaport toboard a ship Often they traveled for hundredsof miles on foot or on horseback and throughforeign countries to get to the port cities

Then came the long ocean voyage to Amer-icamdash12 days across the Atlantic or several weeksacross the Pacific Immigrants usually couldafford only the cheapest tickets and they trav-eled in steeragemdashcramped noisy quarters onthe lower decks

The Statue of LibertyMost European immigrants landed at New

York City After 1886 the magnificent sight of theStatue of Liberty greeted the immigrants as theysailed into New York Harbor The statue a giftfrom France seemed to promise hope for a betterlife in the new country On the base of the statuethe stirring words of Emma Lazarus an Ameri-can poet welcomed immigrants from Europe

ldquoGive me your tired your poorYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these the homeless tempest-tossed to me I lift my lamp beside the golden doorrdquo

Entering AmericaBianca De Carli arrived from Italy in 1913 as a

young girl Many years later she rememberedhow she felt as her ship reached New York City

The Journey to AmericaImmigrants often had a difficult journey to

America Many had to first travel to a seaport toboard a ship Often they traveled for hundredsof miles on foot or on horseback and throughforeign countries to get to the port cities

Then came the long ocean voyage to Amer-icamdash12 days across the Atlantic or several weeksacross the Pacific Immigrants usually couldafford only the cheapest tickets and they trav-eled in steeragemdashcramped noisy quarters onthe lower decks

The Statue of LibertyMost European immigrants landed at New

York City After 1886 the magnificent sight of theStatue of Liberty greeted the immigrants as theysailed into New York Harbor The statue a giftfrom France seemed to promise hope for a betterlife in the new country On the base of the statuethe stirring words of Emma Lazarus an Ameri-can poet welcomed immigrants from Europe

ldquoGive me your tired your poorYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these the homeless tempest-tossed to me I lift my lamp beside the golden doorrdquo

Entering AmericaBianca De Carli arrived from Italy in 1913 as a

young girl Many years later she rememberedhow she felt as her ship reached New York City

Language highlightedthe differences betweengenerations Many immi-grant parents continuedto speak their native lan-guages Their childrenspoke English at schooland with friends but theyalso spoke their nativelanguage at home On the other hand the grand-children of many immigrants spoke only English

The role of immigrant women also changed inthe United States where women generally hadmore freedom than women in European andAsian countries New lifestyles conflicted withtraditional ways and sometimes caused familyfriction (See page 971 of the Primary Sources Library for one

womanrsquos account of leaving her native country)

Building CommunitiesMost of the new immigrants were from rural

areas Because they lacked the money to buyfarmland in America however they often set-tled in industrial cities With little or no educa-tion they usually worked as unskilled laborers

Relatives who had immigrated earlierhelped new arrivals get settled and people ofthe same ethnic group naturally tended to form

Immigrant children learn American ways in the classroom

common laborers in the early 1900s were immi-grant men They might work 12 hours a dayseven days a week

Many immigrants including women andchildren worked in sweatshops in the garmentindustry These were dark crowded workshopswhere workers made clothing The work wasrepetitious and hazardous the pay low and thehours long

Pauline Newman who later became an offi-cial in the International Ladiesrsquo Garment Work-ers Union worked in a New York sweatshop asa child She recalled

ldquoWe started work at seven-thirty in the morn-ing and during the busy season we worked untilnine in the evening They didnrsquot pay you anyovertime and they didnrsquot give you anything forsupper money Sometimes theyrsquod give you a lit-tle apple pie if you had to work very laterdquo

Adjusting to AmericaIn their new homes immigrants tried to pre-

serve some aspects of their own cultures At thesame time most wanted to assimilate orbecome part of the American culture These twodesires sometimes came into conflict

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

The New Immigrants

In the 1870s two young brothers left Italy for America ldquoWe were so long on thewater that we began to think we should never get to America We were all landedon an island and the bosses there said that Francisco and I must go back because wehad not enough money but a man named Bartolo came up and told them that hewas our uncle and would take care of us We came to Brooklyn to a wooden houseon Adams Street that was full of Italians from Naples Bartolo had a room on the thirdfloor and there were fifteen men in the room all boarding with Bartolo It was veryhot in the room but we were soon asleep for we were very tiredrdquo

journey to the United States The tide of new-comers reached a peak in 1907 when nearly 13million people came to America

GeographyNew Immigration

In the mid-1880s the pattern of immigrationstarted to change Large groups of ldquonewrdquo immi-grants arrived from eastern and southernEurope Greeks Russians Hungarians ItaliansTurks and Poles were among the newcomersAt the same time the number of ldquooldrdquo immi-grants started to decrease By 1907 only about 20percent of the immigrants came from northernand western Europe while 80 percent camefrom southern and eastern Europe

Many of the newcomers from eastern andsouthern Europe were Catholics or Jews Fewspoke English Because of this they did notblend into American society as easily as theldquooldrdquo immigrants had Many felt like outsidersand they clustered together in urban neighbor-hoods made up of people of the same nationality

After 1900 immigration from Mexico alsoincreased In addition many people came to theUnited States from China and Japan They toobrought unfamiliar languages and religiousbeliefs and had difficulty blending into Ameri-can society

Leaving Troubles BehindWhy did so many people leave their home-

lands for the United States in the late 1800s andearly 1900s They were ldquopushedrdquo away by diffi-cult conditions at home and ldquopulledrdquo to theUnited States by new opportunities

Many people emigrated or left their home-lands because of economic troubles In Italyand Hungary overcrowding and poverty madejobs scarce Farmers in Croatia and Serbiacould not own enough land to support theirfamilies Sweden suffered major crop failuresNew machines such as looms put many craftworkers out of work

Persecution also drove people from theirhomelands In some countries the governmentpassed laws or followed policies against certainethnic groupsmdashminorities that spoke differentlanguages or followed different customs fromthose of most people in a country Members ofthese ethnic groups often emigrated to escapediscrimination or unfair laws Many Jews fledpersecution in Russia in the 1880s and came tothe United States

Seeking OpportunityImmigrants saw the United States as a land of

jobs plentiful and affordable land and opportu-nities for a better life Although some immi-grants returned to their homelands after a fewyears most came to America to stay

The Journey to AmericaImmigrants often had a difficult journey to

America Many had to first travel to a seaport toboard a ship Often they traveled for hundredsof miles on foot or on horseback and throughforeign countries to get to the port cities

Then came the long ocean voyage to Amer-icamdash12 days across the Atlantic or several weeksacross the Pacific Immigrants usually couldafford only the cheapest tickets and they trav-eled in steeragemdashcramped noisy quarters onthe lower decks

The Statue of LibertyMost European immigrants landed at New

York City After 1886 the magnificent sight of theStatue of Liberty greeted the immigrants as theysailed into New York Harbor The statue a giftfrom France seemed to promise hope for a betterlife in the new country On the base of the statuethe stirring words of Emma Lazarus an Ameri-can poet welcomed immigrants from Europe

ldquoGive me your tired your poorYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these the homeless tempest-tossed to me I lift my lamp beside the golden doorrdquo

Entering AmericaBianca De Carli arrived from Italy in 1913 as a

young girl Many years later she rememberedhow she felt as her ship reached New York City

ldquoWe all trembled because of the strangenessand the confusion Some were weak fromno movement and exercise and some were sickbecause of the smells and the unfresh air Butsomehow this did not matter because we nowknew it was almost overrdquo

Before the new arrivals could actually passthrough the ldquogolden doorrdquo to America they hadto register at government reception centers Inthe East immigrants were processed at CastleGarden a former fort on Manhattan Island andafter 1892 at Ellis Island in New York HarborMost Asian immigrants arrived in America onthe West Coast and went through the processingcenter on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay

Examiners at the centers recorded the immi-grantsrsquo namesmdashsometimes shortening or sim-plifying a name they found too difficult to writeThe examiners asked the immigrants wherethey came from their occupation and whetherthey had relatives in the United States Theexaminers also gave health examinations Immi-grants with contagious illnesses could berefused permission to enter the United States

Language highlightedthe differences betweengenerations Many immi-grant parents continuedto speak their native lan-guages Their childrenspoke English at schooland with friends but theyalso spoke their nativelanguage at home On the other hand the grand-children of many immigrants spoke only English

The role of immigrant women also changed inthe United States where women generally hadmore freedom than women in European andAsian countries New lifestyles conflicted withtraditional ways and sometimes caused familyfriction (See page 971 of the Primary Sources Library for one

womanrsquos account of leaving her native country)

Building CommunitiesMost of the new immigrants were from rural

areas Because they lacked the money to buyfarmland in America however they often set-tled in industrial cities With little or no educa-tion they usually worked as unskilled laborers

Relatives who had immigrated earlierhelped new arrivals get settled and people ofthe same ethnic group naturally tended to form

Immigrant children learn American ways in the classroom

common laborers in the early 1900s were immi-grant men They might work 12 hours a dayseven days a week

Many immigrants including women andchildren worked in sweatshops in the garmentindustry These were dark crowded workshopswhere workers made clothing The work wasrepetitious and hazardous the pay low and thehours long

Pauline Newman who later became an offi-cial in the International Ladiesrsquo Garment Work-ers Union worked in a New York sweatshop asa child She recalled

ldquoWe started work at seven-thirty in the morn-ing and during the busy season we worked untilnine in the evening They didnrsquot pay you anyovertime and they didnrsquot give you anything forsupper money Sometimes theyrsquod give you a lit-tle apple pie if you had to work very laterdquo

Adjusting to AmericaIn their new homes immigrants tried to pre-

serve some aspects of their own cultures At thesame time most wanted to assimilate orbecome part of the American culture These twodesires sometimes came into conflict

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

journey to the United States The tide of new-comers reached a peak in 1907 when nearly 13million people came to America

GeographyNew Immigration

In the mid-1880s the pattern of immigrationstarted to change Large groups of ldquonewrdquo immi-grants arrived from eastern and southernEurope Greeks Russians Hungarians ItaliansTurks and Poles were among the newcomersAt the same time the number of ldquooldrdquo immi-grants started to decrease By 1907 only about 20percent of the immigrants came from northernand western Europe while 80 percent camefrom southern and eastern Europe

Many of the newcomers from eastern andsouthern Europe were Catholics or Jews Fewspoke English Because of this they did notblend into American society as easily as theldquooldrdquo immigrants had Many felt like outsidersand they clustered together in urban neighbor-hoods made up of people of the same nationality

After 1900 immigration from Mexico alsoincreased In addition many people came to theUnited States from China and Japan They toobrought unfamiliar languages and religiousbeliefs and had difficulty blending into Ameri-can society

Leaving Troubles BehindWhy did so many people leave their home-

lands for the United States in the late 1800s andearly 1900s They were ldquopushedrdquo away by diffi-cult conditions at home and ldquopulledrdquo to theUnited States by new opportunities

Many people emigrated or left their home-lands because of economic troubles In Italyand Hungary overcrowding and poverty madejobs scarce Farmers in Croatia and Serbiacould not own enough land to support theirfamilies Sweden suffered major crop failuresNew machines such as looms put many craftworkers out of work

Persecution also drove people from theirhomelands In some countries the governmentpassed laws or followed policies against certainethnic groupsmdashminorities that spoke differentlanguages or followed different customs fromthose of most people in a country Members ofthese ethnic groups often emigrated to escapediscrimination or unfair laws Many Jews fledpersecution in Russia in the 1880s and came tothe United States

Seeking OpportunityImmigrants saw the United States as a land of

jobs plentiful and affordable land and opportu-nities for a better life Although some immi-grants returned to their homelands after a fewyears most came to America to stay

The Journey to AmericaImmigrants often had a difficult journey to

America Many had to first travel to a seaport toboard a ship Often they traveled for hundredsof miles on foot or on horseback and throughforeign countries to get to the port cities

Then came the long ocean voyage to Amer-icamdash12 days across the Atlantic or several weeksacross the Pacific Immigrants usually couldafford only the cheapest tickets and they trav-eled in steeragemdashcramped noisy quarters onthe lower decks

The Statue of LibertyMost European immigrants landed at New

York City After 1886 the magnificent sight of theStatue of Liberty greeted the immigrants as theysailed into New York Harbor The statue a giftfrom France seemed to promise hope for a betterlife in the new country On the base of the statuethe stirring words of Emma Lazarus an Ameri-can poet welcomed immigrants from Europe

young girl Many years later she rememberedhow she felt as her ship reached New York City

ldquoWe all trembled because of the strangenessand the confusion Some were weak fromno movement and exercise and some were sickbecause of the smells and the unfresh air Butsomehow this did not matter because we nowknew it was almost overrdquo

Before the new arrivals could actually passthrough the ldquogolden doorrdquo to America they hadto register at government reception centers Inthe East immigrants were processed at CastleGarden a former fort on Manhattan Island andafter 1892 at Ellis Island in New York HarborMost Asian immigrants arrived in America onthe West Coast and went through the processingcenter on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay

Examiners at the centers recorded the immi-grantsrsquo namesmdashsometimes shortening or sim-plifying a name they found too difficult to writeThe examiners asked the immigrants wherethey came from their occupation and whetherthey had relatives in the United States Theexaminers also gave health examinations Immi-grants with contagious illnesses could berefused permission to enter the United States

Language highlightedthe differences betweengenerations Many immi-grant parents continuedto speak their native lan-guages Their childrenspoke English at schooland with friends but theyalso spoke their nativelanguage at home On the other hand the grand-children of many immigrants spoke only English

The role of immigrant women also changed inthe United States where women generally hadmore freedom than women in European andAsian countries New lifestyles conflicted withtraditional ways and sometimes caused familyfriction (See page 971 of the Primary Sources Library for one

womanrsquos account of leaving her native country)

Building CommunitiesMost of the new immigrants were from rural

areas Because they lacked the money to buyfarmland in America however they often set-tled in industrial cities With little or no educa-tion they usually worked as unskilled laborers

Relatives who had immigrated earlierhelped new arrivals get settled and people ofthe same ethnic group naturally tended to form

Immigrant children learn American ways in the classroom

common laborers in the early 1900s were immi-grant men They might work 12 hours a dayseven days a week

Many immigrants including women andchildren worked in sweatshops in the garmentindustry These were dark crowded workshopswhere workers made clothing The work wasrepetitious and hazardous the pay low and thehours long

Pauline Newman who later became an offi-cial in the International Ladiesrsquo Garment Work-ers Union worked in a New York sweatshop asa child She recalled

ldquoWe started work at seven-thirty in the morn-ing and during the busy season we worked untilnine in the evening They didnrsquot pay you anyovertime and they didnrsquot give you anything forsupper money Sometimes theyrsquod give you a lit-tle apple pie if you had to work very laterdquo

Adjusting to AmericaIn their new homes immigrants tried to pre-

serve some aspects of their own cultures At thesame time most wanted to assimilate orbecome part of the American culture These twodesires sometimes came into conflict

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

L E A R N I N G f r o m G E O G R A P H Y

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Finding WorkAn immigrantrsquos greatest challenge was find-

ing work Sometimes organizations in his or herhomeland recruited workers for jobs in theUnited States The organization supplied Amer-ican employers with unskilled workers whoworked unloading cargo or digging ditches

Some of Americarsquos fastest-growing indus-tries hired immigrant workers In the steelmills of Pittsburgh for example most of the

Language highlightedthe differences betweengenerations Many immi-grant parents continuedto speak their native lan-guages Their childrenspoke English at schooland with friends but theyalso spoke their nativelanguage at home On the other hand the grand-children of many immigrants spoke only English

The role of immigrant women also changed inthe United States where women generally hadmore freedom than women in European andAsian countries New lifestyles conflicted withtraditional ways and sometimes caused familyfriction (See page 971 of the Primary Sources Library for one

Building CommunitiesMost of the new immigrants were from rural

areas Because they lacked the money to buyfarmland in America however they often set-tled in industrial cities With little or no educa-tion they usually worked as unskilled laborers

Relatives who had immigrated earlierhelped new arrivals get settled and people ofthe same ethnic group naturally tended to form

Immigrant children learn American ways in the classroom

common laborers in the early 1900s were immi-grant men They might work 12 hours a dayseven days a week

Many immigrants including women andchildren worked in sweatshops in the garmentindustry These were dark crowded workshopswhere workers made clothing The work wasrepetitious and hazardous the pay low and thehours long

Pauline Newman who later became an offi-cial in the International Ladiesrsquo Garment Work-ers Union worked in a New York sweatshop asa child She recalled

ldquoWe started work at seven-thirty in the morn-ing and during the busy season we worked untilnine in the evening They didnrsquot pay you anyovertime and they didnrsquot give you anything forsupper money Sometimes theyrsquod give you a lit-tle apple pie if you had to work very laterdquo

Adjusting to AmericaIn their new homes immigrants tried to pre-

serve some aspects of their own cultures At thesame time most wanted to assimilate orbecome part of the American culture These twodesires sometimes came into conflict

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Language highlightedthe differences betweengenerations Many immi-grant parents continuedto speak their native lan-guages Their childrenspoke English at schooland with friends but theyalso spoke their nativelanguage at home On the other hand the grand-children of many immigrants spoke only English

The role of immigrant women also changed inthe United States where women generally hadmore freedom than women in European andAsian countries New lifestyles conflicted withtraditional ways and sometimes caused familyfriction (See page 971 of the Primary Sources Library for one

womanrsquos account of leaving her native country)

Building CommunitiesMost of the new immigrants were from rural

areas Because they lacked the money to buyfarmland in America however they often set-tled in industrial cities With little or no educa-tion they usually worked as unskilled laborers

Relatives who had immigrated earlierhelped new arrivals get settled and people ofthe same ethnic group naturally tended to form

Immigrant children learn American ways in the classroom

common laborers in the early 1900s were immi-grant men They might work 12 hours a dayseven days a week

Many immigrants including women andchildren worked in sweatshops in the garmentindustry These were dark crowded workshopswhere workers made clothing The work wasrepetitious and hazardous the pay low and thehours long

Pauline Newman who later became an offi-cial in the International Ladiesrsquo Garment Work-ers Union worked in a New York sweatshop asa child She recalled

ldquoWe started work at seven-thirty in the morn-ing and during the busy season we worked untilnine in the evening They didnrsquot pay you anyovertime and they didnrsquot give you anything forsupper money Sometimes theyrsquod give you a lit-tle apple pie if you had to work very laterdquo

Adjusting to AmericaIn their new homes immigrants tried to pre-

serve some aspects of their own cultures At thesame time most wanted to assimilate orbecome part of the American culture These twodesires sometimes came into conflict

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

L E A R N I N G f r o m G E O G R A P H Y

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Paul Laurence Dunbar the son of formerslaves wrote poetry and novels that used thedialects and folktales of Southern AfricanAmericans Dunbar was one of the first AfricanAmerican writers to gain fame worldwide

Paperback books appeared for the first time inthe late 1800s and these inexpensive bookshelped expand the reading public Many paper-backs featured lively adventure tales or storiesof athletic boys and girls

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Should We Welcome or Prevent Immigration to Our Country

Immigrants struggled to find their place in American society They changed American society with customs from their cultures Many Americans resisted these changes and warned against further immigration

San Francisco Real Estate Circular September 1874

The Chinese come for a season only

and while they give their labor they do not

[spend the money they earn] in the coun-

try They do not come to settle or make

homes To compare the Chinese with

even the lowest white laborers is there-

fore absurdOur best interests are suffering of

these Asiatic slaves we are trying to

make them live decently while here and

to discourage their arrival in such numbers

as to drive white laborers out of the country

communities As a result neighbor-hoods of Jewish Italian Polish Chi-nese and other groups quicklydeveloped in New York ChicagoSan Francisco and other large cities

The immigrants sought to re-createsome of the life they had left behindThe communities they establishedrevolved around a number of tradi-tional institutions Most importantwere the houses of worshipmdashthechurches and synagoguesmdashwhereworship was conducted and holidayswere celebrated as they had been intheir homelands Priests and rabbisoften acted as community leaders

The immigrants published news-papers in their native languagesopened stores and theaters andorganized social clubs Ethnic com-munities and institutions helped theimmigrants preserve their culturalheritage

Describing What isassimilation

Nativist MovementAssimilation was also slowed by

the attitudes of many native-bornAmericans Although employers werehappy to hire immigrant workers atlow wages some American-bornworkers resented the immigrantsThese Americans feared that theimmigrants would take away theirjobs or drive down everyonersquoswages by accepting lower pay

Ethnic religious and racial differ-ences contributed to tensions betweenAmericans and the new immigrantsSome Americans argued that thenew immigrantsmdashwith their foreignlanguages unfamiliar religions anddistinctive customsmdashdid not fit intoAmerican society

Attorney Louis Marshall Speaks Out Against LimitingImmigration 1924In common with all other immigrants those whohave come from the countries sought to be tabooed[forbidden] have been industrious and law-abiding and have made valuable contributions to our industrialcommercial and social development To say that they are not assimilable argues igno-rance The facts show that they adopt Americanstandards of living and that they are perme-ated [filled] with the spirit of our institutionsIt is said that they speak foreign languagesbut in those foreign languages they aretaught to love our Government

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

1 Why do you think Italian Polish and Japaneseimmigrants settled where they did

2 In what regions of the world did the number ofemigrants change the most from 1890 to 1930

L E A R N I N G f r o m G E O G R A P H Y

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

People found it easy to blame immigrants forincreasing crime unemployment and otherproblems The nativist movement for examplehad opposed immigration since the 1830sNativism gained strength in the late 1800s Callsfor restrictions on immigration mounted

New Immigration LawsLawmakers responded quickly to the tide of

anti-immigrant feeling In 1882 Congress passedthe first law to limit immigrationmdashthe ChineseExclusion Act This law prohibited Chineseworkers from entering the United States for 10years Congress extended the law in 1892 andagain in 1902

In 1907 the federal government and Japancame to a ldquogentlemanrsquos agreementrdquo The Japan-ese agreed to limit the number of immigrants tothe United States while the Americans pledgedfair treatment for Japanese Americans already inthe United States

Other legislation affected immigrants from allnations An 1882 law made each immigrant paya tax and also barred criminals from entering thecountry In 1897 Congress passed a bill requiringimmigrants to be able to read and write in somelanguage Although President Cleveland vetoedthe bill as unfair Congress later passed theImmigration Act of 1917 which included a sim-ilar literacy requirement

Support for ImmigrantsDespite some anti-immigrant sentiment

many Americansmdashincluding Grace Abbott andJulia Clifford Lathrop who helped found theImmigrantsrsquo Protective Leaguemdashspoke out insupport of immigration These Americans rec-ognized that the United States was a nation ofimmigrants and that the newcomers made last-ing contributions to their new society

Immigrantsrsquo ContributionsThe new immigrants supplied the countryrsquos

growing industries with the workers that werenecessary for economic growth At the sametime the new immigrants and their childrenmdashlike the old immigrants before themmdashhelpedshape American life They gave the nation itsmajor religious groupsmdashProtestants Catholicsand Jews As they became part of the societyaround them they enriched that society withthe customs and cultures and the language andliterature of their homelands

The effects of immigration were most visiblein the cities with their fast-growing ethnicneighborhoods The flow of immigrants was oneof the factors that transformed Americarsquos citiesin the late 1800s and the early 1900s

L E A R N I N G f r o m G E O G R A P H Y

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

2 In what regions of the world did the number ofemigrants change the most from 1890 to 1930

L E A R N I N G f r o m G E O G R A P H Y

NEW AMERICANSBETWEEN 1890 AND 1930 people viewed the UnitedStates as a land of opportunity because growing Americanindustries were searching for workers More than 20 millionimmigrants poured into the country The largest groupscame from southern central and eastern EuropeImmigrants came seeking jobs and freedom They fled from crop failures political repression and military service

LIFE IN AMERICA

Most newcomers settled near other immigrants from theirown country The largest group Italians settled primarily inthe Midwest and Northeast They were escaping from a disas-trous cholera epidemic and repeated crop failures Althoughthey had been farm workers in southern Italy they settled incities and found jobs building railroads streets and buildingsor selling produce Many of the women went to work for thegarment industry

Poles Czechs Serbs Croats and Russians came seekingmore freedom Poles tended to form close-knit communities in the industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast For many of them life centered on the Catholic Church and theysent their children to parochial schools Women tended toestablish boardinghouses or laundries The men worked in steel mills and slaughterhouses

Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii California and thePacific Northwest They found work in agriculture forestryand fisheries Soon Japanese immigrants were growing 10 per-cent of Californiarsquos produce

The tide of immigration slowed in the early 1920s when the government imposed new restrictions Neverthelessimmigrants still continued to play an important role shapingAmerican culture

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Horatio Alger wrote a successful series ofyoung adult books with such titles as Work andWin and Luck and Pluck Based on the idea thathard work and honesty brought success Algerrsquosbooks sold millions of copies

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

Moving to the City

A train pulling into Chicago in 1884 carried a young passenger named Hamlin Garland For Garland who had grown up on a farm the big city was a bewilderingsight Garland later became famous for his stories about the Midwest In one novel hedescribed his feeling of dismay when he first saw Chicago ldquoThe mere thought of a mil-lion people stunned my imaginationrdquo Garland wondered ldquoHow can so many peoplefind a living in one placerdquo

Growth of CitiesAmerican cities grew rapidly after the Civil War In 1870 one American in

four lived in cities with 2500 or more people By 1910 nearly half of the Ameri-can population were city dwellers The United States was changing from a ruralto an urban nation

Immigrants played an enormous part in the growth of cities In major urbancenters such as New York Detroit and Chicago immigrants and their childrenmade up 80 percent or more of the population in 1890

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Paul Laurence Dunbar the son of formerslaves wrote poetry and novels that used thedialects and folktales of Southern AfricanAmericans Dunbar was one of the first AfricanAmerican writers to gain fame worldwide

Paperback books appeared for the first time inthe late 1800s and these inexpensive bookshelped expand the reading public Many paper-backs featured lively adventure tales or storiesof athletic boys and girls

Horatio Alger wrote a successful series ofyoung adult books with such titles as Work andWin and Luck and Pluck Based on the idea thathard work and honesty brought success Algerrsquosbooks sold millions of copies

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

Native-born Americans also contributed tourban growth Americans moved in huge num-bers from farming areas to cities looking for jobs

The industrialization of America had changedwork on farms New farm machinery made itpossible to produce crops using fewer farm-workers In addition women in rural areas nolonger had to make clothing and householdgoods These items made by machine couldnow be bought in stores or from catalogs Freedfrom such chores many women left farms tolook for jobs in the cities

African Americans also migrated to cities inlarge numbers The vast majority of the coun-tryrsquos African American population lived in therural South in great poverty Many AfricanAmericans began moving to Southern cities insearch of jobs and to escape debt injustice ordiscrimination After 1914 a large number ofAfrican Americans moved to Northern citieswhich offered more jobs in industry and manu-facturing than Southern cities did Many AfricanAmericans also hoped to find less discrimina-tion and violence in the North

Transportation and ResourcesAmericarsquos expanding railroad network fed the

growth of the cities Railroads helped peoplemove to the cities and they transported the rawmaterials for industry Trains carried cattle toChicago and Kansas City making these citiesgreat meatpacking centers

Some cities flourished because of nearbyresources Pittsburgh developed rapidly as acenter for iron and steel manufacturing becauseboth iron ore and coalmdashto fuel the industryrsquoshuge furnacesmdashwere found in the area

Seaports such as New York and San Franciscodeveloped as American trade with the rest of theworld increased In addition the immigrant pop-ulation of these cities provided a large pool ofworkers who were available for low wages

Tenement LivingCities were exciting places that offered jobs

stores and entertainment But there was alsosubstandard housing and desperate povertyPeople poured into the cities faster than housingcould be built to accommodate them In the

biggest most crowded cities the poorest resi-dentsmdashincluding most immigrantsmdashlived intenements Originally a tenement was simply abuilding in which several families rented roomsBy the late 1800s however a tenement had cometo mean an apartment building in the slumsmdashpoor run-down urban neighborhoods

Tenements had many small dark rooms Oneyoung immigrant from Poland spoke of living inthe dimly lit rooms in the back of a New YorkCity tenement

ldquoWe would so like to live in the front but wecanrsquot pay the rent Why they have the sun inthere When the door is opened the light comesright in your facerdquo

Three four or more people lived in each roomUsually several families had to share a cold-watertap and a toilet Few tenement houses had hotwater or bathtubs A government inspector wroteof the ldquofilthy and rotten tenementsrdquo of theChicago slums in 1896 where children filledldquoevery nook eating and sleeping in every win-dowsill pouring in and out of every doorrdquo

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Paul Laurence Dunbar the son of formerslaves wrote poetry and novels that used thedialects and folktales of Southern AfricanAmericans Dunbar was one of the first AfricanAmerican writers to gain fame worldwide

Paperback books appeared for the first time inthe late 1800s and these inexpensive bookshelped expand the reading public Many paper-backs featured lively adventure tales or storiesof athletic boys and girls

Horatio Alger wrote a successful series ofyoung adult books with such titles as Work andWin and Luck and Pluck Based on the idea thathard work and honesty brought success Algerrsquosbooks sold millions of copies

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

Middle-Class ComfortThe cities also had a growing middle class

The middle class included the families of profes-sional people such as doctors lawyers and min-isters An increasing number of managers andsalaried office clerks also became part of themiddle class

The middle class enjoyed a comfortable lifeMany families moved from cities to the suburbsresidential areas that sprang up outside of citycenters as a result of improvements in trans-portation There they lived in houses with hotwater indoor toilets andmdashby 1900mdashelectricityMiddle-class families might have one or twoservants and the leisure time to enjoy music artand literature

The Gilded AgeAt the top of the economic and social ladder

stood the very rich The wealthy lived very dif-ferent lives from most Americans They builtenormous mansions in the cities and hugeestates in the country Some homes such asthose of JP Morgan and Henry Clay Frick inNew York City are now museums

In these mansions the rich lived lives ofextreme luxury throwing enormous partiesand dinners In 1883 Alva and William KissamVanderbilt gave a party for more than 1000guests at their New York mansion The partywas estimated to have cost $75000 for food andentertainment which is equal to about $13 mil-lion today

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner pub-lished a novel in 1873 called The Gilded Age Thenamemdashwhich refers to something covered witha thin layer of goldmdashbecame associated withAmerica of the late 1800s The Gilded Age sug-gested both the extravagant wealth of the timeand the terrible poverty that lay underneath

Describing Why was tenement living difficult

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Paul Laurence Dunbar the son of formerslaves wrote poetry and novels that used thedialects and folktales of Southern AfricanAmericans Dunbar was one of the first AfricanAmerican writers to gain fame worldwide

Paperback books appeared for the first time inthe late 1800s and these inexpensive bookshelped expand the reading public Many paper-backs featured lively adventure tales or storiesof athletic boys and girls

Horatio Alger wrote a successful series ofyoung adult books with such titles as Work andWin and Luck and Pluck Based on the idea thathard work and honesty brought success Algerrsquosbooks sold millions of copies

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

streets and the sewers could not handle the flowof human waste Filth created a breeding groundfor diseases which spread rapidly through thecrowded districts

Fires were an ever-present threat About 18000buildings were destroyed and 100000 Chicagoanslost their homes in the Chicago fire of 1871 Twoyears later Boston experienced a devastating fire

Health and Crime ProblemsIn a poor Chicago neighborhood in 1900

babies often died of whooping cough diphthe-ria or measles before their first birthday A sec-tion of New York was called the ldquolung blockrdquobecause so many residents had tuberculosis

In an effort to control disease New York Citybegan to screen schoolchildren for contagiousdiseases and to provide visiting nurses to moth-ers with young children The city also estab-lished public health clinics for those who couldnot pay for medical care

The poverty in the cities inevitably led tocrime Orphaned and homeless children some-times resorted to picking pockets and otherminor crimes to survive Gangs roaming thepoor neighborhoods committed more seriouscrimes Jacob Riis reported

ldquoThe gang is an institution in New York Thepolice deny its existence while nursing thebruises received in nightly battles with it Thegang is the ripe fruit of tenement-house growthIt was born thererdquo

Seeking SolutionsThe problems of the cities did not go unno-

ticed Many dedicated people worked to improveurban life and help the poor

Religious groups aided the poor Some religious orders helped the poor in orphanagesprisons and hospitals Organizations such asthe YMCA (Young Menrsquos Christian Association)and YWCA (Young Womenrsquos Christian Associa-tion) offered recreation centers where cityyoungsters could meet and play

The poor also received assistance from estab-lishments called settlement houses The settle-ment house movement had spread to the

United States from Britain Located in poorneighborhoods settlement houses providedmedical care playgrounds nurseries andlibraries as well as classes in English musicand arts and crafts Settlement workersmdashmostly womenmdashalso tried to get better policeprotection garbage removal and public parksfor poor districts

One of the most famous settle-ment houses was ChicagorsquosHull House founded by JaneAddams in 1889 Addamsexplained

ldquoWe were ready toperform the humblestneighborhood servicesWe were asked to washthe new-born babies andto prepare the dead for bur-ial to nurse the sick and tolsquomind the childrenrsquordquo

Explaining What purpose did set-tlement houses serve

The Changing CityUrban growth led to important new develop-

ments In the late 1800s cities saw the introduc-tion of a new type of building new kinds ofpublic transportation and public parks

Building UpmdashNot OutBecause of the limited space in cities imagi-

native architects began building upward ratherthan outward In the 1860s architects started touse iron frames to strengthen the walls of build-ings Iron supportsmdashtogether with the safetyelevator that Elisha Otis invented in 1852mdashmade taller buildings possible

In 1884 William LeBaron Jenney con-structed a 10-story office building in ChicagoSupported by an iron-and-steel frame it wasthe worldrsquos first skyscraper Architect LouisSullivan gave style to the skyscraper ldquoIt mustbe every inch a proud and soaring thing rising

in sheer exultationrdquo he said Sullivan and hiscolleagues changed the face of Americarsquos citiesSoon people built even higher structures NewYorkrsquos Woolworth Building completed in1913 soared an incredible 55 storiesmdash792 feet(241 m) high People called the building theCathedral of Commerce

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

McKim Mead and White used the ItalianRenaissance style in its design for the BostonPublic Library Henry Richardson adaptedstyles from ancient Rome in his design forchurches libraries and even department stores

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

5 During what two decades did immigration fromsouthern and eastern Europe peak

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

New DesignsSome people looked to reshape the urban

landscape A group known as the ldquoCity Beauti-fulrdquo movement believed city dwellers should beable to enjoy the beauties of nature FrederickLaw Olmsted a leader in this movementdesigned New Yorkrsquos Central Park as well asseveral parks in Boston

In 1892 and 1893 Chicago hosted a WorldrsquosFair on fairgrounds designed by Olmsted TheFair revealed that American architecture wasdynamic and original The best architects thoroughly understood European styles andadapted them for modern use The firm of

New Forms of TransportationAs cities grew people needed new means

of transportation Mark Twain complained in1867 that

ldquoNew York is too large You cannot accom-plish anything without devoting a whole dayto it The distances are too greatrdquo

Streetcars which horses pulled on tracks pro-vided public transportation at the time Horseswere slow however and left piles of manure In 1873 San Francisco began construction ofcable-car lines A large underground cable powered by a motor at one end of the rail linemoved passengers along In 1888 Richmond

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

5 During what two decades did immigration fromsouthern and eastern Europe peak

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Virginia pioneered the use of the trolley car amotorized train that was powered by electricitysupplied through overhead cables By the turnof the century the trolley was everywhere In1897 Boston opened the nationrsquos first subwayor underground railway In 1904 New York Cityopened the first section of what was to becomethe largest subway system in the world

Another improvement that helped trans-portation was the paving of streets During mostof the 1800s city streets remained poorly pavedFor example although the rapid growth ofCleveland Ohio made that city an importanturban center most of its streets were nothingmore than sand and gravel Other cities usedwood blocks brick or cobblestone all of whichwere bumpy noisy and hard to repair Thegrowing use of asphaltmdasha by-product of petro-leum refiningmdashbeginning in the 1890s made citystreets smoother and quieter

Building BridgesBridge construction provided another

improvement in urban transportation ManyAmerican cities were divided or bounded byrivers Using new construction technologyarchitects and engineers designed huge steelbridges to link sections of cities The 520-foot(156-m) Eads Bridge across the MississippiRiver in St Louis opened in 1874 Ten years later

New Yorkrsquos majestic Brooklyn Bridge 1600 feet(488 m) long connected Manhattan and Brook-lyn Both bridges remain in use today

The new forms of transportation not onlyhelped people travel within the cities but theyalso helped the cities grow Middle-class sub-urbs developed along train or trolley linesstretching away from city centers People whomoved out of the city centers could easily traveldowntown to work or shop

The increase in immigration and the growthof the cities went hand in hand with otherchanges in American life Education cultureand recreation were changing too

Reading a Line GraphWhy Learn This Skill

Graphs are a way of showing numbers visuallymaking them easier to read and understand Graphsare often used to compare changes over time or dif-ferences between places groups of people orrelated events

Learning the SkillOn a line graph numbers usually appear along the

left side of the graph or the vertical axis Time isusually shown along the bottom of the graph or thehorizontal axis A line on the graph shows whetherthe numbers go up or down over time Sometimes agraph contains more than one line to record two ormore related quantities

To read a line graph follow these stepsbull Read the title of the graphbull Read the information on the horizontal axis and

the vertical axisbull Study the points where the line intersects the grid

on the line graph This step tells you whatamount existed at a given time

bull Study the changes over time that the line on thegraph illustrates Look for increases decreasesand sudden shifts

bull Draw conclusions from the statistics presentedWhat trends or patterns appear

Practicing the SkillStudy the line graph on this page and answer thefollowing questions

1 What is the subject of this line graph

2 What information is presented on the horizontalaxis On the vertical axis

3 In about what year did immigration from north-ern and western Europe peak

4 In about what year was immigration from AsiaAfrica and South America the lowest

A Changing Culture

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Explaining What is regionalism

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

Unlike round-the-clock farmwork professionaland industrial jobs gave people hours and evendays of free time Americans developed newforms of recreation

A favorite leisure-time activity for manypeople was watching and following sportsBaseball became the most popular spectatorsport in America By the turn of the centuryboth the National and American Leagues hadbeen foundedmdasheach made up of teams frommajor cities Their games drew large crowds ofenthusiastic fans and in 1903 the first WorldSeries was held

Another popular spectator sport was footballwhich developed from the English game ofrugby By the 1890s college games were drawinghuge crowds

Basketball invented by Dr James Naismith ofSpringfield Massachusetts also became popu-lar Naismith developed the game in the 1890s asan indoor winter sport for the boys in his YMCAphysical education classes Considered the onlymajor sport that is completely American in ori-gin basketball soon spread to other countries

Americans not only watched but also partici-pated in sports Tennis and golf were enjoyed bythe wealthy usually in exclusive private clubsBicycling grew in popularity after the ldquosafetyrdquobicycle was developed Older bicycles had

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Art Music and LeisureFor most of the 1800s the work of American

artists and musicians reflected a European influ-ence After the Civil War Americans began todevelop a distinctively American style

American ArtistsSome American painters pursued realist

themes Thomas Eakins painted the humananatomy and surgical operations One ofEakinsrsquos students Henry Tanner depicted warmfamily scenes of African Americans in the SouthFrederic Remington portrayed the AmericanWest focusing on subjects such as cowhands andNative Americans Winslow Homer paintedSouthern farmers Adirondack campers andstormy sea scenes James Whistlerrsquos Arrange-ment in Grey and Black commonly known asldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo is one of the best-knownAmerican paintings Mary Cassatt was influen-tial in the French Impressionist school of

Music in AmericaMore distinctively American kinds of music

were also becoming popular Bandleader JohnPhilip Sousa composed many rousing marchesincluding ldquoThe Stars and Stripes ForeverrdquoAfrican American musicians in New Orleans inthe late 1800s developed an entirely new kind ofmusicmdashjazz Jazz combined elements of worksongs gospel music spirituals and Africanrhythms Related to jazz was ragtime music Forabout 20 years beginning around the turn of thecentury ragtimemdashwith its complex rhythmsmdashwas the dominant force in popular music Oneof the best-known ragtime composers is ScottJoplin He wrote ldquoMaple Leaf Ragrdquo and manyother well-known works

The symphony orchestras of New York Bostonand Philadelphiamdashall founded before 1900mdashwere among the worldrsquos finest Great singers andconductors came from all over the world to per-form at New Yorkrsquos Metropolitan Opera House

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Mary Antin a young girl who came to the United States from Russia in 1894 neverforgot her first day of school ldquoFather himself conducted us to school He would nothave delegated that mission to the president of the United Statesrdquo For her father Mary explained education was ldquothe essence of American opportunity the treasure nothief could touch not even misfortune or poverty The door stood open for everyone of usrdquo

Expanding EducationMost Americans in 1865 had attended school for an average of only four

years Government and business leaders and reformers believed that for thenation to progress the people needed more schooling Toward the end of the1800s the ldquotreasurerdquo of education became more widely available to Americans

By 1914 most states required children to have at least some schooling Morethan 80 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 17 were enrolled in ele-mentary and secondary schools

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

One Hampton Institute student Booker TWashington became an educator In 1881 Wash-ington founded the Tuskegee Institute inAlabama to train teachers and to provide practicaleducation for African Americans As a result of hiswork as an educator and public speaker Wash-ington became influential in business and politics

In 1896 scientist George Washington Carverjoined the Tuskegee faculty His research trans-formed agricultural development in the SouthFrom the peanut which was formerly of littleuse Carver developed hundreds of productsincluding plastics synthetic rubber shavingcream and paper

Minorities and Higher EducationSome new colleges such as Hampton Insti-

tute in Virginia provided higher education forAfrican Americans and Native AmericansHoward University in Washington DCfounded shortly after the Civil War had alargely African American student body By theearly 1870s Howard offered degrees in theol-ogy medicine law and agriculture Prominentgraduates of Howard include Thurgood Mar-shall who later became a justice of the SupremeCourt writer Toni Morrison and political scien-tist Ralph Bunche the first African American towin the Nobel Peace Prize

Elementary StudentsThe classroom was the major place whereimmigrant children learned American ways

The ClassroomStudents observe an experi-ment and take notes duringscience class in 1900

WritingBy 1900 the Palmer method of penmanshipwas taught everywhere In the Palmermethod some capital letters were nolonger written separately and entire words could be completed before the pen was lifted to cross a ldquotrdquo or dot an ldquoirdquoWriting sets included ink bottles like thisone Its double covers prevented evapora-tion and protected against leakage

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up

Public SchoolsThe expansion of public education was

particularly notable in high schools Thenumber of public high schools increased from100 in 1860 to 6000 in 1900 and increased to12000 in 1914 Despite this huge increasehowever many teenagers did not attend highschool Boys often went to work to help theirfamilies instead of attending school Themajority of high school students were girls

The benefits of a public school educationwere not shared equally by everyone In theSouth many African Americans received littleor no education In many parts of the countryAfrican American children had no choice butto attend segregated elementary and second-ary schools

Progressive EducationAround 1900 a new philosophy of educa-

tion emerged in the United States Supportersof this ldquoprogressive educationrdquo wanted toshape studentsrsquo characters and teachthem good citizenship as well as factsThey also believed children shouldlearn through the use of ldquohands-onrdquoactivities These ideas had the greatesteffect in elementary schools

John Dewey the leading spokes-person for progressive educationcriticized schools for overemphasizingmemorization of information InsteadDewey argued schools should relatelearning to the interests problems andconcerns of students

Higher EducationColleges and universities also changed and

expanded An 1862 law called the Morrill Actgave the states large amounts of federal landthat could be sold to raise money for educationThe states used these funds to start dozens ofschools called land-grant colleges Wealthyindividuals also established and supported col-leges and universities Some schools werenamed for the donorsmdashfor example CornellUniversity for Ezra Cornell and Stanford Uni-versity for Leland Stanford

CHAPTER 20 Toward an Urban America

Women and Higher EducationIn 1865 only a handful of American colleges

admitted women The new land-grant schoolsadmitted women students as did new womenrsquoscollegesmdashVassar Smith Wellesley and BrynMawrmdashfounded in the late 1800s By 1890women could attend a wide range of schoolsand by 1910 almost 40 percent of all Americancollege students were women

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Schools for Native AmericansReservation schools and boarding schools

also opened to train Native Americans for jobsThe Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Penn-sylvania was founded in 1879 and similarschools opened in the West Although theseschools provided Native Americans with train-ing for jobs in industry they also isolated NativeAmericans from their tribal traditions Some-times boarding schools were located hundredsof miles away from a studentrsquos family

Comparing What did the collegesBryn Mawr Vassar and Smith have in common

A Nation of ReadersAs opportunities for education grew a grow-

ing number of Americans became interested inreading Public libraries opened across thenation and new magazines and newspaperswere created for the reading public

Public LibrariesIn 1881 Andrew Carnegie the wealthy steel

industrialist made an extraordinary announce-ment He pledged to build a public library inany city that would agree to pay its operatingcosts In the next 30 years Carnegie donatedmore than $30 million to found more than 2000libraries throughout the world With gifts fromCarnegie and others and the efforts of state andlocal governments every state in the Unionestablished free public libraries

Spreading the NewsTechnological advances in printing paper

making and communications made it possibleto publish a daily paper for a large number ofreaders The growing cities provided readers forthe newspapers

In 1883 Joseph Pulitzer purchased the NewYork World and created a new kind of newspaperThe paper grabbed the readerrsquos attention withillustrations cartoons and sensational storieswith huge scary headlinesmdashsuch as ldquoANOTHERMURDERER TO HANGrdquo Under Pulitzerrsquos man-agement the World built up its circulation to morethan one million readers every day

Other newspapers soon imitated Pulitzerrsquosstyle William Randolph Hearstrsquos New YorkMorning Journal became even more successfulthan the World attracting readers by exaggeratingthe dramatic or gruesome aspects of stories Thisstyle of sensational writing became known as yel-low journalismmdasha name that came from thepaperrsquos popular comic strip ldquoThe Yellow Kidrdquo

Ethnic and minority newspapers thrived aswell By 1900 there were six daily Jewish-language newspapers operating in New YorkCity African Americans started more than 1000newspapers between 1865 and 1900

More magazines took advantage of printingimprovements and mass circulation techniques to reach a national market Between 1865 and1900 the number of magazines in the UnitedStates rose from about 700 to 5000 Some mag-azines of that eramdashthe Atlantic MonthlyHarperrsquos Magazine and Ladiesrsquo Home Journalmdashare still published today

Changes in LiteratureMany writers of the era explored new themes

and subjects Their approach to literature wascalled realism because they sought to describethe lives of people Related to realism wasregionalism writing that focused on a particu-lar region of the country

Mark Twain was a realist and a regionalistMany of his books including Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn and The Adventures of TomSawyer are set along the Mississippi Riverwhere Twain grew up
