Before the Industrial Revolution almost 75% of British people lived in the country and they farmed. Some people were skilled craftsman. They did all their work by hand. When the Industrial Revolution came about machines were being created. Many farm families went broke because they weren't use to the new machines and they did everything by hand. They didn’t have any money for food or to support their families. Families had to move to from the farms to factory cities. When they moved the whole entire family moved together and they worked in the factories. Even the children worked in the factories. Kids had to work and they weren't going to school even though their education was very important. The people that worked weren’t under good working conditions and weren't healthy. The people working in factories became sick because of the working conditions in the factories. Their bosses couldn’t care less; they just wanted the job done so they can make their money. They had to work about 18 hours a day. The machines did all the work and humans just controlled the machine, telling it what to do. Machines were replacing humans and this was something new when the industrial revolution started.
