True

Explanation:

Americans started seeing better work opportunities when the Industrial Revolution came. Their daily work changed too, people that were used to craft their own materials and work in their own land started working for large companies. With the Industrial Revolution, people from the rural areas started transitioning to the urban areas. People started seeing better opportunities living in the city. Therefore, families that used to live all together in a big household in a rural area started to separate, and they started living with their nuclear family in smaller homes near the urban area.
