In this video Heimler explains the effects of the Industrial Revolution on society, including living conditions, family structures, women’s rights, and environmental impact.

Sickness became a big problem during the Industrial Revolution because factory workers lived in hastily built structures called tenements. Typically they were poorly built and ventilated. And because so many people lived in such close quarters (and add pollution of the water supply to it), disease spread quickly, most notably, cholera.

Family structures changed as well. Especially at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution all able members of the family worked factory jobs. And this led to the fracturing of traditional family structures.

Middle class women were encouraged to stay home and raise virtuous children under the influence of the Cult of Domesticity. But soon women raised their voices and demanded equal rights with men. A good example is the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848.

And finally the Industrial Revolution had an environmental impact as well. As human and industrial waste was poured into water supplies, drinkable water became contaminated. Additionally, smog became a problem in many industrial towns.
