The low-cost apartments in America during the late 1800s were commonly referred to as "tenements." These buildings were often overcrowded and lacked basic amenities, catering primarily to low-income families and immigrants seeking affordable housing in urban areas. The term has since become associated with poor living conditions and social issues of the time.
In the late 1800s, monopolies stifled competition, leading to higher prices and reduced choices for consumers. They often exploited workers by maintaining low wages and poor working conditions, as there were fewer alternative job opportunities. Additionally, monopolistic practices could lead to political corruption, as powerful companies influenced legislation to protect their interests, undermining democratic processes. This concentration of economic power also contributed to significant income inequality during that era.
The working conditions in the 1800s were poor and unsafe. There was no labor laws with many people being overworked including children.

True. The poor economy of the South during the late 1800s was largely due to the struggle to recover from the Civil War. The devastation of infrastructure, loss of labor due to emancipation, and the transition from a plantation-based economy to one that sought new industries hindered economic recovery. Additionally, factors like debt, sharecropping, and limited access to markets further complicated the South's efforts to rebuild its economy.

Well because back then they didn't have many job chooses that were too good, so they put up with it because a job is a job & money is money even if it is very little. novanet- they could be replaced easily by other workers
