Explanation: Between 1890 and the 1920s South Carolina industrialized—textile mills expanded greatly and drew laborers into factory work, and WWI-era industrial needs (including shipbuilding and other manufacturing) prompted workers to acquire new industrial skills. Unionization remained weak in the state, and the trend was rural-to-urban migration for factory jobs, not movement out of cities into agriculture.
