US and GB Comparison

I believe that industrialists would be more likely to succeed in the United States. The US factories had better working conditions and instituted low earning teenage girls into their factories for cheaper labor. With less people dying because of poor conditions, and less money being paid to the workers, the factories ran smoother and were more effective. Better working conditions means workers are less likely to become ill or die. This means workers won't miss work as much and they will be happier. Farm girls were employed by factories because they could be paid at a much lower wage than men. This made the factories profit because they were getting about the same work done for less money. Overall, better conditions and lower wages paid made US a better place for industrialists.

I think the workers had a more positive experience in the US. The conditions were a lot better in the US and the workers had other options if they didn't want to work at the factory anymore. There was less pollution and death in the US than in GB. The workers obviously would want better conditions because factory work was dangerous enough. But if the workers for whatever reason decided they did not want to work at the factory anymore, they had more options than in GB. In Great Britain, there was little to no farm land, so factory work was they only way most people had to make a living. In  the US, there was so much land to farm on that any factory worker could start a farm if they pleased. This was a lot better because they at least know that factory work wasn't their only option. This is why I feel workers had a better experience in the US.
