The Industrial Revolution changed the way jobs worked. Now, many factory positions were open near cities, which caused many people to move to those areas. Mostly, the factories were in the North. With growing populations, reform in government and housing regulations was needed. In addition, wages and standards were needed for factories and their workers, to make sure they were working ethically. In the south, they started to reform their business, because the agrarian society was not productive enough to keep up with demands. The south became industrialized as a result.
While the Industrial Revolution brought about a more prosperous nation as a whole, there were many reforms that needed to happen to help working-class citizens. The documents discuss that disease was common and children were working, even though it was against the law. People were expected to work extremely long hours without a break. Many workers, including children, were injured or killed on the job. In many cases, the living and working conditions were dirty. Reforms did happen, but it took many years for change to occur.
