Cities Blog


When the growth of cities started there were some good things and also some bad things that came along with them. One good thing is that when cities started the us was given a statue as a gift from France, but for us to get the statue it had to be shipped across seas in over 350 pieces. When they wanted to put up the statue they realized they didn't have enough money, so the nation came together as one to donate and raise enough money to be able to build the statue. Also the statue brought over 24 million new immigrants to America.In the process of city growth they realize that steel, the object used to hold up buildings was getting too expensive, so a guy named Andrew Carniky created a machine called the bessemer process which made steel. It saved a lot of money. Another things is that to build the buildings people were up really high on little thin beams, which was really dangerous. Lastly there was a stock market collapse.


POEM
Standing tall since 1875
the statue of liberty brings such a good vibe
she holds a torch to represent hope
you can go into the crown and see through a telescope
she stands still at 305 feet tall
and there's still no chance that she will fall
the statue is green but it didn't start like that
it was made from copper right up to the hat
