why did london city dwellers become rebellious during 19th century?
Answers
Following are the reasons that the London city dwellers become rebellious during the 19th century:
1. The increase in population led to an extension of the workforce. Shortly the city became full of sellers and merchants, of small masters and skilled and semi-skilled artisans, of warriors and dependents, of casual workers, street sellers, and beggars.
2. As the development of offices attracted people from rural areas, there was no space and finance for everyone to live conveniently. As a result of this situation, the poor people had to reside in one big room together. This was seen as a serious warning to public health.
3. The cities were not maintained properly. Poor people were not provided with basic facilities. And residence of poor people which were a few houses (big rooms) threatened the people of fire risks.
All these conditions led the city-dwellers of Landon to launch a rebellion during the 19th century.
