The 1830s brought about an economic depression which had textile mills (notably the Lowell Mill) crying for workers, particularly females, to operate them. Not only did the Board Of Directors soon reduce the generous wages that the women were earning, but the close-quartered operating areas and unsanitary boarding houses only added to the worker's growing distaste. The Lowell Mill was a victim of many strikes or "turn-outs" from the year 1834-1836 in the United States.

How did british government and social welfare change in the 1800s?

In the 1800s, the British government began to take a more active role in social welfare due to the Industrial Revolution's social consequences, such as urban poverty and poor working conditions. The introduction of factory acts aimed to regulate working hours and improve conditions, particularly for children and women. Additionally, the Poor Law Amendment of 1834 reformed the existing poor relief system, establishing workhouses to support the impoverished, though often under harsh conditions. These changes marked the beginning of a gradual shift towards a more structured approach to social welfare in Britain.
