Describe the lives of working people during the industrial revolution. who were the workers? what kinds of work did they do? where did they live and work? what were their living and working conditions? why did they accept these jobs? why didn’t factory owners treat their workers well?

People during the Industrial Revolution lived lives of constant work and sleep. They did dangerous factory work for little pay and lived in rags for small amounts of money. However, they accepted the conditions they lived in (all up until the Peasant riots) because they needed a way to support their family. When children were old enough to walk, you bet they were working with their parents. Factory owners didn't treat their workers well because they didn't have to. For a long while, people just accepted their filth and rags and let the rich stay rich.
