People in the United States in the nineteenth century were 【C1】______ by the 【C2】______ that unprecedented change in the nation’s economy would bring social 【C3】______ . In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability, the economy 【C4】______ a period of 【C5】______ and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. 【C6】______ that growth was a structural change that 【C7】______ by increasing economic diversification and a gradual shift in the nation’s labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits.

In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women 【C18】______ the home and served as the custodians of civility and culture.
