New York and Pennsylvania became centers of heavy industry(iron, glass and steel)

A group of people called the Amish live in Pennsylvania. They have an agricultural economy and also make most of the things that they use. Because of their religious beliefs, they do not use electricity or telephones in their homes, or use cars or tractors. They travel by horse and buggy.
