During the period following the Civil War the United States changed a great deal. Some of these changes were brought about by new inventions. Others were brought about because of the desire of others to make money and gain political and economic control of cities, states, or regions. With this in mind, please respond to the following essay prompt in a 1000-word response:
If you had lived in the 1880s and you were given the choice of where in the United States you could live, would you have lived in the South, the West or the North? Would you have lived in a city or a rural area? Finally, what type of work would you have done?
Thesis Example: If I had lived in the United States in the 1880s, I would have lived in the West, lived in a rural area, and worked on a ranch.
