These settlement housing complexes, along with other emerging municipally supported housing and projects, were failing considerably as time went on, in more ways than not. Ways these housing and government projects were failing were in hygiene and sanitation, in addition to perishable products that went uninspected, like meat and dairy products, which eventually made citizens very ill, and even killed a few. Local factories emitting toxic fumes also did not help the issue at all8
The protection provided by slave owners was too stingy. Many slaves lived in small stick houses with dirt floors, not the log slave cabins often depicted in books and movies. These shelters had cracks in the walls that let in cold and wind, and had only thin coverings over the windowpanes. Again, slave owners supplied only the minimum required for survival; they were mainly concerned with
In Yoshiko Uchida’s, Desert Exile, she claims, “ Each stall was now numbered, and ours was number 40. That the stalls should have been called “apartments” was a euphemism so ludicrous it was comical” (Uchida 248). Uchida explains her experience in an internment camp, the families were told they would be living in apartments, when, in fact, they would be leaving in old animal barns. Japanese Americans were shipped to the desert, herded into barns to live and forced to wait in lines to eat. Ultimately, these prisoners were treated less than human and more like animals. Although this treatment of the Japanese Americans in the Internment camps was horrible, the conditions in the concentration camps were unpleasant, in Warren’s book, she explains, “Rumors about the war, rumors about upcoming “selections,” when SS officers would weed out the weakest prisoners and ship them off somewhere” (Warren 73). In the same way the prisoners in the Internment camps were treated like animals, the prisoners in the Concentration camps had it way worse . They were so weak they would be picked off to be sent somewhere else, most likely to be killed. Similarly the prisoners in the Concentration camps had it really bad, they barely had a living place like the Japanese prisoners did. They acquire way less, sometimes no food in the Concentration camps but the Japanese people received dessert at one point. Both camps had their ways of being negligent and miserable than the other. All in all the Concentration camps were way worse than the Internment camps, and they both had very inhuman
In the first few Most contracts never mentioned the safety and comfort of tenants (p. 10). In addition, many of the tenants were working and needed to be close to where they worked. The costs of living in these tenement houses were ridiculously high for the condition and size of the rooms.

One of the most famous concentration camps, Auschwitz, had some of the poorest living conditions. In Auschwitz, the prisoners lived crammed tightly in small, brick barracks. Since the prisoners simply couldn’t all fit inside these barracks, they were also forced into basements and lofts, along with hundreds of others. The tight living quarters were a main factor in the spreading of diseases and epidemics. In another concentration camp named “Birkenau”, the barracks had two styles which included both brick and wood. The brick barracks were hastily built, and were very dangerous and unsafe. Even though these brick barracks weren’t fit to hold people inside them, more than 700 prisoners were assigned to each barrack. The barracks did not have any way to heat or cool the rooms, and also lacked any sanitary facilities. The second style of barrack at the Birkenau concentration camp was another wooden barrack, except these were made to fit approximately fifty-two horses, not hundreds of prisoners. These barracks had many rodents and vermin, and had no way to prevent the damp roofs from leaking on the prisoners. Also, the foul smell and prisoner’s diarrhea made the already difficult living conditions much

Paper I was forced to do. When Norse F. Rabalais who was born and raised in Simmersport, Louisiana (Avoyelles Parish) was a child there was no navigation lock to lower ships to the Mississippi, the water just poured out, ships with it, and flowed into the distributary known as Atchafalaya. A lot of parishes above New Orleans and quite a bit north of Baton Rouge (Louisiana’s capital) there’s a navigation lock in Mississippi’s bank allows ships to drop out of the river. Because of nature, they drop up to thirty-three feet then can go west or south. This is something very strange and rare between the river and its adjacent terrain. That adjacent terrain is known as Cajun country. The local parishes are Pointe Coupee Parish and Avoyelles parish.
Central Plains Central Plains is well known to be the “corn and wheat belt of the bread basket”, due to its numerous farms that produce amount of the nation supply. It has also create a gigantic amount of dairy in central plains, that helps wisconsin's becoming producing the most cheese of any state in the country.

And many of these procedure can be seen in today’s Midwest society.
Indiana the Hoosiers When people think of Indiana most just think about corn and that is true. Indiana is a state that is all about farming and festivals and the social interaction of the people. When people are out in Indiana one simply smiles and says hello even if they do not normally know one another. This is just a normal occurrence in most parts of Indiana. If people go to another state, things may be much different. People in other states may not hold doors open for one another and it is not considered rude. Whereas in Indiana, if there is someone walking 30 feet behind, better hold that door open for them or that is considered highly rude. Just like any large group of people living among each other, Indiana has a vast set of different

The lowborn workers toiled away for hours in physically exhausting jobs only to afford apartments that were sterile and cold. “There were some nine cots in the place . . . he was sick of the bareness and privation connected with his venture” (Dreiser, 304). The pay affected the men and woman’s own mode of life. They were forced to share living spaces with other families and more often than naught, had to bunk with complete strangers. The very comforts associated with a home, such as wood and furniture, were often too large of an expense. Even with Governmental/ Charity handouts the citizens had no money in which they could afford better living conditions. The rooms they were given to stay in were cold and sterile, and they were not guaranteed a place to stay every night.
