Changes caused by the market revolution (industrial developments, and changing roles in society) had an effect on U.S. society as a whole. It caused an increase in the American population, and the number of Americans working in factories (this included women). These American families no longer had to depend on semi-subsistence farming. As a result of the market revolution they were able to support themselves by working in factories producing goods for distant markets.

The Market revolution occurred in the first half of the 19th century. Increased industrialization was a major component of the Market Revolution as a result of the Industrial revolution. Many new products revolutionized agriculture in the West. John Deere, for example, invented a horse-pulled steel plow to replace the difficult oxen-driven wooden plows that farmers had used for centuries. The market revolution gave way to new opportunities and inventions which made moving west more appealing for younger families who were looking to leave and make a name for themselves in the west.
