between 1866-1886, cowboys drove about one million cattle each year from Texas to Kansas for rail transport to Chicago for slaughter and meatpacking at the Union Stock Yards and then eventual consumer distribution, serving about 80% of national meat consumption.<\/li>\n<li>In 1850, Chicago&#8217;s population was about 30,000.\u00a0 By 1900, the population of Chicago population exceeded 1.7 million

would produce \u201ca minor invention every ten days and a big thing every six months or so\u201d\u00a0(Edison eventually received over 1,000 patents for his inventions, including those related to electric power and lighting, phonograph, and motion pictures)<\/li>\n<li>Estimated 5,000 lynchings of Blacks from 1880s to 1950s, with concentration in Deep South states (Mississippi, Georgia) during 1890s-1930s (with 2 t0 3 Black citizens lynched every week)<\/li>\n<li>By 1920, according to the US Census, more Americans lived in urban areas (2,500+ people) than rural areas<\/li>\n<li>Between 1870
