You're welcome.

What does your book say about the impacts of the Industrial Revolution on Americans? I could give you my ideas, but your teacher is looking for the facts and ideas presented by your book.

During the late 19th century, immigrants poured in from Eastern Europe. They tended to live in large eastern cities and worked for low wages in the new factories. Your book will have more details.
