Industrial Revolution

 Movement from state side to to cities, moving from agriculture to business and the push of overpopulation due to the move to cities. Businesses moved to creating the assembly line that would later be used towards the manufacturing of cars.People started using fossil fuel to power their engines at the time due to the amount of burning fossil foil their has been an increase to a point that has never seen before. The rules for workers went up, longer hours, less breaks, more child labor would be used in the textile industry. Due to the rapid hours at work many workers would have to leave their children creating a epidemic and an influx of orphan children.  sick workers couldn't rely on family or community to take care of them. Factories have many safety hazards and due no set regulations  to protect workers many workers would get sick and ultimately back then die. Factories during this time were detrimental but also showed just how useful and resourceful machines could be to the world.
