Answer 1

Answer: Ellis Island

Answer 2

Answer: As cities expanded and developed an internal market district for local shopping and regional distribution, a unique business model developed to cater to the needs of the urban consumer, increasingly part of the enlarging middle class. Based on European precedents and the rapid expansion of the internal market, the department store carried all goods under one roof. Elaborate window displays, middle-class employees, and the increasingly presence of women made the department store a cultural icon beginning in the late nineteenth century. Poor people perused the items and hoped for a better future.

Answer 3

Answer: Founded on Lake Michigan in 1833, Chicago grew rapidly with the rise of the stockyard industry during and after the Civil War. Lumber and grain also fed the city's residential and industrial expansion over time. Although devastated by fire in 1871, it rebounded and increased population to 1.6 million by 1900. In 1893 its central importance as America's major city of the interior was showcased when it hosted the World's Columbian Exposition.
