The industrial revolution changed the north completely. Towns grew into cities and the patterns of labour changed, from being largely rural to an urbanised working population. The north benefited greatly, the new industries provided employment for thousands of people, many coming from Ireland to help build the canals and later the railways. This new, urban, population whilst being exploited and sufferring harsh living and working conditions would also benefit from some enlightened factory owners, who provided libraries, concert halls and laid out public parks for their workers. Poeple also benefited from the railwyas bringing in cheap manufactured goods and food from the countryside, and from the communications provided by the railways and later the telegraph. Although what I have written about refers to the North of England - where the Industrial Revolution happened, it also applies to the North of the USA, when it too industrialised.

Answer from: Quest

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
