Agriculture in United States Mid-nineteenth Century
Item Information
- Title:
- Agriculture in United States Mid-nineteenth Century
- Description:
-
A national shift in people and farming. In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was an eastern country; the distribution of people and agriculture were closely matched. However, with the opening of fertile lands in the Midwest and west, and growing improvements in transportation by rail, canal, and ocean, the nation’s population and food production diverged geographically and eastern farmland reverted back to forest.
