Will mark brainliest only need 1 - write an essay about what it was like to live in an industrial city in great britain during the 1800s. how was this better or worse than living on a farm or in a rural area?

For a man born in the countryside who emigrated to a city looking for a job in a factory, living in an industrial city was a miserable experience: narrow, filthy and bed-smelling streets, dingy-faced children on the streets wearing the same old, shabby clothes day in and day out, beggars here and there and a whole sense of despair in the foggy and contaminated air. Compared to living in the old farm, living in the city was the next-best thing to living in Hell. In the farm, one would work from sunrise to sunset, six days a week as Sunday was reserved for Church. The family was not rich, but food would never miss on the table. Here in the city, a man works up to eighteen hours a day, seven days a week (not even time for the Lord) and the family barely makes ends meet, and many nights we have to skip supper before bedtime.

Living in the farm was a guarantee of poverty while moving to the big city offered, at least, a slight chance of making a small fortune and leave poverty behind. However, only a very few managed to escape the deplorable conditions of the newly-born working class and get clerical jobs, better-paid with better conditions. For the vast majority of peasants and farmers emigrating to the cities and getting hired in factories, life was an endless misery.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
