Question

How did the Industrial Revolution affect the lives and labor of working-class people?

Please provide Examples to support your response.

Answer 1

it depends

some were fired from their jobs because they were taken over by machinery
(cotton gin but that reduced the need of hands on a farm. Plows as well.)

others had easier jobs because not everyone was working manually
(sewing machine faster, looms, etc)

others had really hellish lives. The machinery was dangerous and many could get seriously injured or killed. People could easily be replaced because they did not have much skill
