Factories In The 19th Century

In the mid to late 1700's, the women of the United States of America had practically no rights. When they were married, the men represented the family, and the woman could not do anything without consulting the men. Women were expected to be housewives, to raise their children, and thinking of a job in a factory was a dream that was never thought impossible. But, as years passed, women such as Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, and Elizabeth Blackwell began to question why they were at home all day raising the children, and why they did not have jobs like the men. This happened between the years of 1776 and 1876, when the lives and status of Northern middle-class woman was changed forever. Women began to

During the 1800s, industrialization was the sole purpose everywhere in Europe. Industrialization was the reason for pushing forwards. Industrialization has led to what we live in today in the twenty-first century it also had many downsides. The one major fault was the introduction to the factory system. The factory system was created in order to speed up the production of goods.

Employers took advantage of women as the women’s main concern was to survive low salaries and diabolic working conditions; advancement in career had no significance for them as their limited poor educational background lessened their chances of progress in most domains of their work. Clearly they took this job purely from the need to feed their families. Their lack of education and the dominance of men in the workforce gave them little choice other than to accept these manual, simple almost degrading types of jobs. Women could not afford to complain or create any

Before World War I, women were often seen in their homes cooking, cleaning, and sewing, never out working in factories or working at the local train station. However as men were sent off to battle in World War I and jobs needed to be filled women gradually shifted into the workplace. At this point in time women were hired to be bank clerks, steel mill workers, telephone operators, chauffeurs, street car conductors, telegraphers, and boot blacks; all of which were jobs men would usually fulfill. Soon enough big industries and even the U.S. government were in great need of women replacements. Although women were finally breaking into the workforce they were only paid half as much in wages as the men were.

In the nineteenth century women lived in an age of inequality because of their gender. Women had very limited choices when it came to their occupational choices, which is why most women stayed home to care for their children take care of the house, keep things clean, and in line and make sure that everything was ready before their husbands came home from their longs days of working.

During the 1800s, people and children would work long hours in factories. I read 4 documents that talked about conditions in English Textile Factories. Based off of the 4 documents, working conditions were horrible.

In the early 20th century industrialization was booming and the country was thriving. The economic growth of the industrialization did not trickle down to the common worker. The poverty level in the U.S was extremely high. As immigrants migrated to major cities they would usually migrate to common places according to their ethnicity. With the poverty level being so high there were criminal groups formed to try to profit any way possible. This also made way for organized criminals to enter the political forum through voter intimidation and bribery. The political machine were politician that worked closely with criminals to obtain votes promising jobs, housing and government assistance. Most major cities in America like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia,

Many immigrants such as Irish settled in the west. Most didn’t get good paying jobs because they lacked certain skills that were required. who didn’t get good jobs usually had back breaking jobs such as building canals, railroads, laboring mines, and working in factories. Men went outside and used their strength for their jobs. Women either stayed inside and took care of the house, or worked as servants for rich families. As time passed, both men and women wanted better working conditions. Factory workers wanted better working conditions because factories were often noisy and dangerous. Business owners also wanted better working conditions for their employees because they wanted to sell more products and make more money. To make money, they

During the Industrial Revolution, factories were not safe for children. In the House of lords interview with Dr.Ward, he said, ”When I was a surgeon in the infirmary, the children's hand and arms [were] being caught in the machinery…” This shows how dangerous the factories were for children. It also shows that the children were at high risk working in the factories. Although in the interview with Dr.Holme, who said children were safe, you need to consider that he was not answering questions and was contracted by Mr.Pooley, a factory owner, to examine the children. This shows how the interview with Dr.Holme was a bit biased. In the interview with John Birley, he said, ¨They asked us questions about our treatment, which we answered as we had

The factory systems were developed basically because the new machines that were being created needed more room to be stored and also more room to function properly. They were developed by rivers so they could use the downfall current of the river water to power the machines inside the factory using an wheel well. Than, later the factories could be placed next to coal because the machines became coal powered. There effects were basically keeping up with the demand of clothing but also giving more jobs to farmers that came to urban cities looking for jobs that fitted their needs.

The first factories of the Industrial Revolution were the cotton mills and the inventions that have continued to the mass production of cotton and wool such as the spinning jenny and the water frame. The spinning jenny was invented by James Hargreaves in 1765 and helped increase the supply of yarn as it could spin 8 threads at once. The water frame was invented by Richard Arkwright in 1768, and was known as the spinning frame that improved on the Spinning Jenny as it could be powered by a water wheel and produce yarns at any time.

With the drastic increase of population, many rural workers were in desperate need of employment, while capitalists from urban settings were looking for workers willing to work for at lower wages, than those set by the urban work laws. As a result of this “relationship”, the rural industry became extremely popular throughout the eighteenth century. This new system became known as the “putting out system”, as the merchant would lend specific materials to rural workers, who would build and return the ultimate product back to the merchant. Although it was popular, it did not spread across Europe at the same time or pace. In addition, the textile industry, the most employed industry, adopted this system as a way to help the management of materials

The Industrial Revolution was an important milestone in history and influenced almost every part of the standard of living. From the new discoveries in technology there became new jobs available, which presented new working conditions, and the middle class had a new outlook on life. During the 19th century, changes and new ideas formed what would advance the modern world, the shift from an agricultural and handmade economy to a machine and manufactured one (Judge 664). Goods like coal, iron, and textiles, the discovery of electricity, railroads and the use of steel, are all part of what is referred to as the Industrial Revolution.

Work in the past, along with today’s time as well, women have not been treated equally in the work force. Women are constantly being looked at as less than men and the idea that women are not able to do everything a man can do. Women are looked at as weaker individuals who do not work as hard as men do, which is entirely untrue. Still in the 21st century women could work the same hours as men at the same work place and still be getting paid less than the male employee, which is outrageous. This does not even relate back to the early 1900’s where some women were not even allowed to have jobs, but this is where women began to speak up for themselves. When women began to work and furthered their educations more job opportunities were available and the women were able to get jobs and it became the new norm. In a court case the court system stated, “The two-parent, two-earner family has become the most common family type in this country. Today a wife's contribution to family income is what keeps many families in the middle class about the poverty line.”

While exploring works clarified nineteenth century creating, I found a few researchers who flowed books about the organization of nineteenth century growing, especially plant diaries, step by step papers, flyers, and freebies. These creators often set the developing staying in contact with they were considering into a recorded relationship by reviewing the fundamental occasions in development of the year in which the composed work was scattered (see Demaree, for case). Regardless, while these producers talk about diaries, consistently papers, freebees, and gifts, I couldn 't discover much exchange about another fundamental wellspring of creating learning: creating handbooks. My objective in this paper is to bring this source into the plant creating exchange by accomplice three agrarian handbooks from the nineteenth century with nineteenth century developing history. To satisfy this objective, I have sorted out my paper into four standard regions, two of which have sub-ranges. In the focal reach, I give a record of three fundamental occasions in nineteenth century agrarian history: masses and creative changes, the scrambling of astute new information, and creating 's impact on get ready. In the second domain, I take a gander at three nineteenth century creating handbooks concerning the crucial occasions depicted in the central zone. I end my paper with a third parcel that offers research addresses that could be replied in future varieties of this paper and finish up with a
