Living conditions of the late 1800's


When I went to the 1800's I experienced the extremely difficult liveing conditons of the factory workers. It was much more extreme than the living condtions of today. Back then they lived in slums called "The Plains". It was very crammed and the rent was pretty high. I think that some areas in America today is somewhat like this but very few areas are. It is a good thing living conditons are not as bad as they used to be.


The factory workers got very little money. I asked myself why would someone go live there. Then i realized that they were being drawn by ads that were false. They showed people haveing loads of money in there hands and a nice place to live. The ads were completely false, I thought that was not good at all. Overall the living conditions were extremely bad and unacceptable and it is a good thing that has changed.
