Answer 1

Answer: In 1870, some 25 percent of American people lived in cities. By 1900, 40 percent did. New York City grew from 1.2 million in 1880 to 5.6 million in 1920. Los Angeles numbered 11,000 in 1880, and had 500,000 by 1920.

Answer 2

Answer: After the owner of the model company town cut wages by one-third during a recession, the workers, led by Eugene Debs, joined at the American Railway Union. But Pullman refused to submit to arbitration, forcing a confrontation with the beleaguered workers. Federal troops ordered by President Grover Cleveland eventually ended the strike in favor of the owner.

Answer 3

Answer: Blacks lived in the poorest housing conditions amidst segregation in the north and south, as well as very high rental rates and the lack of city services to black areas. Many southern blacks left and migrated north where urban problems remained a major challenge. A rich religious and associational life helped to ease the burden.
