Without the Industrial Revolution, the United States would not be such a powerful nation. The Industrial Resolution was a metamorphosis in the way the U.S.A. manufactured goods and how people made their income. The revolution took the people of that day from the horse and buggy to the engine powered automobile we know today. It helped grow this nation and make it strong, but most importantly, it changed this world completely and permanently. Some argue that the industrial revolution was a bad…

In the case of the Manchester workers, conflict struck when the work of spinners and weavers was mechanized and moved to the factory and men replaced women as the core workforce, followed by the replacement of water powered by steam that allowed factories to increase in size and to be built in towns instead of next to village stream, no wage increases and above all, the intolerable mistreatment and working conditions (16).

will leave the life of poverty with these factories around because, ”child workers are denied an education” (Proquest Staff). If the children do not receive an education then obtaining a job that gives a higher wage is highly unlikely. Nobody would be willing to hire someone without a proper education. This leads many people to only one solution. Sweatshops. In many cases, “workers endure unhealthy and explosive conditions” (“Sweatshops”). These are factories that are willing to hire anyone who…

Too much time was needed in the factories to go to school and get an education. While some gained ample capital, others were left with hardly anything and were unable to have even the basic necessities. Not only did these people live in bad conditions, but they also worked in them…

The Industrial Revolution was the quick development of industry during the late 18th and 19th centuries in Britain that was brought about by advances in machinery. This revolution did bring about quicker transportation, cheaper clothes and well-built houses but these benefits are surpassed by the negative effects such as inhumane working conditions, death of workers and an immense amount of people who had to live in slums.
