Why did athletics become popular in the late-nineteenth-century united states? in what ways did this trend represent broader changes in american society and culture?

Hi!

The athletics is a huge event that involve competitive running, jumping and walking. Organized athletics are tracked back to the Ancient Olympic Games, where these rules and statements were defined in Western Europe and North America throughout the 19th century, mainly it was spread to the United States.

When these sports were spread to all American society, some things changed with that radical addition. Sports would become one of the most important earnings for the country, these economic and huge income was even bigger than other country's economics. The sports area started to páck a wallop.

The recognition for the victories were also another aspect that brought the country back to the world's spotlight. In addition, many industries would be developed due to athletics' success.

This as well, became part of the American society's culture and traditions. Without athletics, sports would not have never been discovered and the country would never have found one of their current passions and earnings.
