Working Conditions during the Industrial Revolution

1. The evidence from the Sadler committee showed how bad the working conditions were for most workers. They helped establish more rights for the workers and showed that if the conditions improved so would the work and the quality of the work. Peter Smart was barely getting enough money for himself and his sick mother. Even though he was currently a slave driver, he still thought that things could improve for the workers.

2.The evidence in the Saddler Committee was the most influential to the formation of the Factory Acts of 1833 because the acts were made mostly to establish a regular working day in the textile industry. There were limitations for how many hours the children worked for and the number of hours depended on their age. The Factory Acts also enforced a mandatory break for the children and education. Also, children under the age of 9 weren't aloud to work in the textile industry. One of the Factory Acts is applicable in each of the sources from the Saddler Committee.
