In the 1840s, many poor people faced severe hardships due to economic turmoil, including the impact of the Industrial Revolution, which led to job displacement and harsh working conditions. The Great Famine in Ireland (1845-1852) devastated the population, leading to mass starvation and emigration. In urban areas, rapid industrialization resulted in overcrowded living conditions, poor sanitation, and widespread poverty, exacerbating social inequalities and prompting movements for reform.
