Definition1/9
The people in steerage were at the bottom of the ship and below
water level. There were no windows, no rooms, and very little of
anything else. The ships in the 1900's divided decks according to
classes of people. The decks were separated with locked gates and
the upper deck people who paid the most for passage never met or
saw the people on the other decks. The immigrants below were locked
in so they couldn't have access to the upper decks. They were
considered the poorest dirtiest people on the ship so we're sold
the worse accommodations.

Jacob Riis wrote "How the Other Half Lives." He exposed the
lives of the many poor Americans living in the slums of the city.
These treachers include tenements in which many people crammed
together to live in, hot beds which were the poorly made mattresses
that they slept in, called hot beds because one person would go to
work (usually in a factory) while the other slept and then they
would rotate, so the beds would always be warm, and there were
often no windows or it was one or two rooms with bunks and a
makeshift stove in the middle of the room. Children would be
playing in the dirty streets and illness was easily spread.
