The Industrial Revolution and its Effects on Slavery

The Industrial revolution was when a massive explosion of economic wealth came to be. Because of the large increase in technological developments such as the factory line which made work a lot easier to find. This as a result led to a massive increase to the population.

Some people think that the quality of life in the factories was much worse than life before but it’s the opposite. The conditions in the factories were still terrible but the increase in the population implies that were better than before.

There were many people that were opposed to slavery. Many people protested the slave trade and more made speeches and books that swayed people’s minds. And they were right of course.
