The East Gains Through Population Shifts 1870–1900
Dr. Albert Shaw notes in the Review of Reviews that migration patterns shifted from western farming lands in 1870s and 1880s toward manufacturing hubs in the 1890s. New Jersey and New York show strong manufacturing-driven growth, while Northern New England stagnates. Rhode Island’s rise exceeds Nevada’s population, and Connecticut adds 162,000 people in ten years. Manufacturing prosperity drives these gains.
