Abstract

In the mid-nineteenth century in America a new market economy spurred increasing numbers of people to leave their homes in rural areas in favor of rapidly growing urban areas. This paper investigates the lives of the young men in urban settings and how they impacted American culture at large and the development of the middle-class.
