Did the Industrial Revolution benefit the lives of European people in 1800-1850?

The Industrial Revolution both benefited as well as hurt people in Europe during the period between 1800 and 1850. First of all, the wealth from factories created a new dominant middle class. These were the factory owners or professionals who made up the New Money Class. On the downside, the factories attracted many to the cities in search of jobs. Poor living conditions and poverty came as well, increasing the numbers of the poor and destitute.


What group of people worked in factories in the late 1800's?

In the late 1800s, factories primarily employed immigrants and rural workers seeking economic opportunities. Many laborers were women and children, who often worked long hours in harsh conditions for minimal pay. This workforce was essential for the rapid industrialization occurring during this period, as factories expanded to meet growing demands. Additionally, various ethnic groups, including Irish, German, and Italian immigrants, played a significant role in the industrial labor force.


School punishments in the 1800's-1900's?

Boys had to bend over for lashings by cane or ruler up to about 1980's. I became a teacher but never found it necessary to administer corporal punishment.
