Answer:
The three major factors that contributed to the immense technological boom that took place in the United States after the Civil War were, a wealth of natural resources, government support for business, and a growing urban population that provided both cheap labor and markets for new products.
One of the two factors that helped bring about the technological boom was the wealth of natural resources and the growing urban population that provided both cheap labor and markets for new products. Both of these things helped to bring about the technology boom because the natural resources were when oil was found under the ground. The oil was used for a lot of things including machines, vehicles, barbed wire, and building railroads. The oil was important because if they did experiments on it they realized it turned to steal and that was used for a lot of things in technology. The oil also helped boom technology because the steel created the phone, type writer, and clothes machines. The phone, type writer and clothes machines helped the markets for new products because business was booming with all of these new inventions.
