prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal , and other cities flourished, and as the colonies grew,
these cities increased in importance.
This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather
than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the
economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations
maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the
small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to
have it front on a water highway.
When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000
inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 100,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one
million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning and weaving industries, that cities started
drawing young people away from farms. Such migration was particularly rapid following the Civil War ( 1861-
1865).

c. Their ability to distribute goods to interior settlements d. The pace of their development
29. The word “accordingly” is closest in meaning to

Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give
others and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a
more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences
