1.
19th Century England
Life in the Time of Charles Darwin
2.
RICH LIFE
The upper and middle classes enjoyed their new-found wealth.
They lived in large, multi-story houses.
Their homes contained a lot of furniture and pointless toys.
Their standard of living is much higher than the middle class today.
They did not want anyone from the lower classes to achieve this standard of living.
3.
LIFE OF THE POOR
Life was hard for the poor in the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Many farmers lost their land and jobs to machines.
They went to cities to look for factory jobs.
There they found that living conditions were hard.

4.
HOUSING FOR THE POOR
The working class lived in "back to back" housing.
The backs of the houses were touching, with few windows.
People also lived in tenement housing, where a family would share a room.
The poorest of the poor slept outside or on straw.
Some people live in basements, which were wet with no ventilation.
5.
Factory Life
Life in the factory was strict and dangerous.
Due to long working hours, people often got hurt.
Children as young as five would work in factories and coal mines.
Lint in textile factories would damage workers lungs.
Many dangers came along with factory work.
6.
COAL MINES
Working in coal mines was particularly dangerous.
Coal dust would destroy worker's lungs.
Fires and avalanches would kill people.
It was dark, dirty, and dangerous.
7.
WOMEN IN SOCIETY
Their husbands, who they did not choose, supported women.
They wore many-layered dresses, or hoop skirts
Most women did not have jobs or an education.
They were seamstresses, domestic servants, and factory or farm workers.
Most were part of the working class.
8.
RELIGION
The official Church of Britain was the Anglican Church.
Methodism became popular during this time.
This is because it gave poor people a "method" for life.
Others were also Presbyterian, Baptist, Quaker, and Unitarian.
Few people were Catholic or Jewish.
9.
Scientific Advancements
John Dalton confirmed the atomic theory and calculate their weight.
Charles Bell explained the nervous system, improving surgeries.
Francis Ronalds invented the telegraph, improving communication.
Doctors Hodgkins, Addison, and Bright investigated diseases.
10.
Other Advancements
George Stephenson invents the steam-powered train.
Michael Faraday invents the electronic motor and power generator.
Lord Kelvin develops his scientific system for measuring temperature.
11.
Jobs
Employment in the 19th century was for the middle class or the poor.
The upper class did not work because they had enough money to support themselves.
Jobs for the working class during this era were very unsafe.
This is due to limited regulations and terrible conditions.
12.
The workforce
Children as young as six began laboring in factories.
They did jobs such as mining and chimney sweeping.
Men started taking jobs in medicine and law.
These men were from the upper class, though.
This is because they had more education and opportunity.
13.
Industrialization
Before the Industrialization, goods were made very differently.
Products were made in homes with hand tools and basic machines.
The textile industry was transformed and improved in the 19th century.
This provided a higher standard of living and affordable goods.
Yet, working conditions were dangerous and wages were low.
