Why Is Factory Life Harsh During The Industrial Revolution
Life at the factories was rough during the industrial era. Children picked up and put to work at factories to feed their family. They worked for 12-16 hours a day in a smoke infested rooms. They could lose limbs and get diseases just standing there. This document will prove factory life was unhealthy and dangerous for the workers at that time.
A Doctor by the name of Michael ward was interviewed on the conditions he saw in the factories that summer.(House of lords committee and Michael w. 1819) He stated he couldn't breath when he entered. He also stated the health of the children was worse to the conditions of other factories.
Dr Ward wasn't the only one who had a say in proving factory life was horrible. A man by the name of John Birley …show more content…
was a former worker during the industrial revolution.He told a reporter his story about his life in the factory.He said they were told to not tell the truth about the factories. ¨ They asked us questions about our treatment,which we answered what we were told.¨ said John Birley.(The Ashton Chronicle, May 19th.)
John birley had to deal with the smoke and beatings like every child worker during the industrial revolution.A picture shows smoke over a factory during that time.(Factory with smokestacks) This prove the waste that gets put into the air and the smoke Dr ward had to breath and John Birley had to deal with in just one photo.
An opponent of this idea that factory life is unhealthy is Dr Holme. He was interviewed about a specific factory, which was owned by Mr Pooley.(House of lords committee and Holme E. 1818.) Dr Holme states the factory was perfectly fine and 363 were completely healthy.(Holme E. 1818.) The Doctor's statement would have been proving factories are health if he wasn't asked questions. Dr Holme avoided answering the questions which related to Mr pooley which means he was probably paid to the a lie about the factory.
Another opponent is Edward Baines who wrote a part in his book about the conditions and the ideas he has for punishment for the workers.(History of the cotton manufacture in Great Britain)
Edward states that ¨abuse is the exception ,not the rule¨(History of the cotton manufacture in Great Britain) Edward is saying abuse is allowed but is not enforced. Edward is a supporter of healthy factory and child abuse which doesn't help the healthy conditions of
factories.
Those factories during the industrial revolution had horrible and dangerous for its workers and members. They allowed child abuse and overworking shifts in a smoke infested room. The workers had encountered injuries and death from those factories. These sources prove that the industrial revolution was dangerous and unhealthy for the workers at that time.
