Emotional Struggles of the Working Class in Late 19th Century Industrialization

The emotional issue of poorer working people in the late 1800s was the feeling of exploitation and oppression. Many felt they were being taken advantage of by the industrial system, which led to anger and frustration. They were often forced to work in unsafe conditions for long hours and had little say in their working conditions or pay. This led to a sense of powerlessness and hopelessness that could be very emotionally draining. Additionally, the lack of social mobility and opportunities for advancement made it difficult for poorer workers to improve their lot in life, which could lead to feelings of despair.
