Birthrate rises
In 1830 the amount of people tripled. It was almost to 13 million people. It tripled because the birthrate was really high. Each family had around 5 or more children. Lots of people lived on farms then and the kids would help out with the farming. Because the familys had so many kids that made the population rise. -
