Answer 3

The 4 "Robber Barons" were the main contribution to industrial growth in that time period. Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and Jay Gould. Those men became the wealthiest people the world has ever seen through the Oil industry, Steel industry, Railroad industry, and Banking industry.

Answer 4

There was capital accumulation during the Civil War. Before 1860, most of America was still rather rural and interstate commerce was very limited to the coast states and the Miss. River states. The building of interstate railroads during the Civil War for the movement of troops and supplies helped commercial expansion after the war.

Also, the massive influx of immigrants from Europe (around 1.5 MILLION) provided an ample source of labor for factories.

I'm not going to flat out give you answers but I don't think a hint on where to look will hurt.

Look up technology--better farming techniques would allow for less manpower on the farm and the ability of people to move to cities. Look up urbanization--people moving from the country to the city.
