What I know about the 18th century

   The Restoration was when the English monarchy restored its position, and it took place from 16th century to 18th century. In 18th century, a significant event happened in England that would change the rest of the human history, which was the Industrial Revolution. During the Industrial Revolution, people no longer worked at homes. Instead, they moved to cities and worked in factories, which caused urbanization. Moreover, factories were built near where workers lived so that it was more convenient for them. What concerned to factory owners the most was how they could make the greatest profit by only using the least cost. They didn’t care about how workers lived, thus workers’ rights were deprived of. Moreover, children were employed to do jobs such as cleaning machines or delivering components. Children might get crippled due to accidents, but the factory owners still wouldn’t care about these children. They would only think that it’s the children’s own fault for not being careful.
