INDUSTRIAL WORKING CLASS Lived in foul smelling slums They were packed in tiny
rooms in tenements (multistory buildings divided into apartments)
There was no running water, sewage or sanitation system so waste and garbage rotted in the street
![Page 9: SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. PEOPLE MOVE TO CITIES Entrepreneurs –Became wealthy as a result of the Industrial Revolution Workers –Exposed](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf45503460f949c315c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sewage was dumped into the river so there was a horrible smell and the water became contaminated (unclean) leading to the spread of diseases such as cholera

WORKERS STAGE PROTESTS Workers organized groups called labor
unions, although they were illegal many met
in secret
They wished to initiate reforms (changes)
such as increase in pay however they had no
political power and often times their
frustration turned into violence
