This chapter examines how industrialization impacted race relations in the United States. As factories drew new immigrant and migrant workers into northern cities, it increased racial tensions as old and new groups competed for jobs and housing. Racial stratification became embedded in the labor market and urban residential patterns, institutionalizing systems of privilege and disadvantage along racial lines.
