Discuss general factors that helped urban areas in the U.S. develop into industrial, manufacturing centers in the mid and late 1800s.

New York City was uniquely situated to become a center for manufacturing and especially the textile industry in the late 1800s. In a one-page review essay, explain three major factors that contributed to the growth of New York City as the center of the textile industry in the late 1800s. Although the question specifically asks about the growth of the textile industry in New York City, a strong paper will also provide a context for the growth of New York City by discussing general factors that helped urban areas in the U.S. develop into industrial, manufacturing centers in the mid and late 1800s.
