Answer 3

Civil war was a major one. I know here in Cleveland Ohio in 1860 we had one foundry, by 1865 we had hundreds, from making materials for the war. Those business did not fold up and go away but kept producing after the way.

Answer 4

Number one is the railroads, creating a huge national market and the ability to move goods swiftly to market.
The emergence of the modern corporation as an organizational form for business is also crucial.
To these add electrification, populations growth, protective tariffs, a generally pro-business environment, and the training of large number of engineers and chemists in America's universities, particularly the Land Grant colleges.
