Many of these diffrences were because the ways of life were made by factory work, not farming. Also housing was diffrent, and many inventions started durning this time period.

To start, farming was no longer the means of living. People who lived in the city work in facctories, or mills. The work was hard, and the pay was little. This is because many were not sucessful in farming so they all had to move to the city. Also there were many immigrants who migrated to the cities. There for workers were easily found. Low wages and harsh conditions were common in this time period.

Living in the city was also very diffrent from life on the farm. Many lived in row houses and had no land at all. Many families were forced to live in one home due to high costs of rent.
