1. Imagine you work in a steel mill in a large industrial city in England in the late 1800s. You live in a neighborhood with other factory workers and share the same living and working conditions they do. Write a letter to your representative in Parliament expressing your opinions on what the government should do, if anything, about the plight of the English working class during the Industrial Revolution. In your letter, include details about your situation, as well as solutions for problems. Include some of the points below: • Working conditions in English factories, the hours you work, opportunities for breaks, the average wages workers are paid, safety on the job, ages of those you work with (including children), health and healthcare, and what you will do when you are too old to work.
• Types of laws that might be passed to address your concerns, including measures that factory owners should take to improve conditions, or steps the government could take to protect workers and insure better living conditions.
• Ideas you have for improving urban life such as city planning, technological innovations, sanitation, schools, hospitals, and law enforcement.
• How the government’s actions can affect England’s future, including the health, education, and welfare of its citizens

Dear Parliament,

      The working conditions for the workers that participate in this mill and me are outrageous and we demand changes for the future. The working environments for the women and children are terrible. Children have caught their hands in machine and women have also been injured through the sewing machines. The workers and me have also been doing backbreaking labor for almost 12+ hours and also get paid very little. The health conditions for us are also terrible. Disease and death pass through every street due to the poor living conditions and small housing space for each family and we now demand for a change. We would first like for our wages to be equally fair for the hours we work for. We would then like for laws to be past so that more sewer systems are made to help mandate the flow of waste. We would also like to have bigger house or tenement so that my family and me may live on. We would also like for the elder to not work past the age of 70, especially with the working hours that you have brought upon us. We would also like a law to be made that lets my working mates and me have fewer hours to work so that we feel rested and prepared for the morning. We would like another change to happen and that change would be to make the working conditions safe and environment friendly which means no hazardous and dangerous machines that could lead to severe injuries and this also means that children should not be able to work with such dangerous machines, so they should not work in the mills and factories at all. By doing these actions the future of England could have a great impact through trade of economy and also have foreign help with the U.S. The U.S could also help the people of England get a great education, health, and welfare of the citizens through the power of industrialization.

                                                                                                       Sincerely,

                                                                                                      Worker from Mill
