Sanitation in the 1800's was disgusting and appalling. It was way worse then than now. Since there were no Departments of Sanitation to take the garbage away, it was left to the flies and stray animals. In the cities, these poor sanitary conditions were made worse by the high concentrations of people. Fires and sickness spread easily because of the unsanitary cities.
