As in Britain, people in the United States flocked to the cities and gave rise to widespread discontent between the rich and the poor classes.

manufacturing techniques allowed for a rapid increase in the power, capability, and convenience in lifestyle for humans. Unfortunately, immense consequences for the environment also started to result. The changes were particularly significant in North America at this time, since advanced lifestyles had not been around long enough to make an impact on the vast wilderness compared to many of the areas in Europe. In the United States, a sense of limitlessness toward so many resources represented the view

As history would have it, the Mexican population not only makes up a large number of immigrants that live in the United States, but they have also contributed to and molded the culture that is seen in North America today (Zong & Batalova, 2016).

John D. Rockefeller as a Robber Baron A "robber baron" was someone who employed any means necessary to enrich themselves at the expense of their competitors. Did John D. Rockefeller fall into that category or was he one of the "captains of industry", whose shrewd and innovative leadership brought order out of industrial chaos and generated great fortunes that enriched the public welfare through the workings of various philanthropic agencies that these leaders established?
