During the American Revolution, American society was divided between two groups. One group wanted to revolt against the British and become independent. Another group, known as loyalists, wanted to remain under the control of Great Britain.
With this in mind, it is easy to understand the fact that a loyalist would try to sabotage any efforts by the American colonists to break free from Great Britain. Along with this, loyalists would share inside information with the British military so that they would be aware of the rebels plans.
Most of the workers are<em> young immigrants</em>. They were Russian Jews or Italians, some of them were also from Hungary and Germany. Nearly all of them spoke little to no English. Their age ranged from 12 to 15 years old. Sometimes the whole family (mother, daughter, sister) was employed at the factory. They were paid at piecework rates, so that the pay depended on the skill of the work done and on how quickly one worked.
They worked 7 days a week, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. with a half hour lunch break, sometimes non stop. They were paid about 6$ a week. The Factory was described as unsanitary and the women had to leave the building to use the bathroom. There was only one fire escape and one elevator.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Pres. Woodrow Wilson at the end of the war was highly regarded by the Europeans as he deployed AEF to help to win the war against the Central Powers. He actively advocated for the adoption of his 14 Points as the major principles of Treaty of Versailles but the other 3 big heads: Great Britain, France, and Italy firmly rejected his suggestions except the last point, creation of League of Nations. The other allied powers want Germany reparation for the War Guilt Clause, $33B in total as Wilson though resented the demand but at last complied.
2. the U.S.A didnt join because they didn't want to get dragged into another European conflict and because they wanted to maintain a policy of isolationism.Many people hoped that this international organization could help to stabilize the world after the Versailles Treaty brought turmoil. Since Switzerland is a neutral country, organizers based the League of Nations in the city of Geneva. While this organization was the brainchild of United States president Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. would not join. Germany and Russia were not allowed to join the organization.
3. Although the League of Nations was much of the work of President Woodrow Wilson America never joined the League of Nations.
This was for several reasons, firstly America had suffered civilian casualties in the war, and many people in the USA wanted to keep America out of European affairs.
This policy was called isolationism and was probably the main reason that America didn't join the League.
Also joining the league meant that this might involve having to do things that might set back the economy or damage America otherwise.
For instance sending out soldiers out to other parts of the globe would be a very costly venture and there would probably be casualties as well.
There was also the fact that America had had little involvement in the war and had some civilians (especially German immigrants) also had little or no support for British or French policies and/or the Treaty of Versailles.
So although when the League was actually being formed Woodrow Wilson still backed America joining it, by this time America had had enough of wars and dealing with other countries problems and, despite Wilson America never joined the League.
<span>The social criticism in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle was a response to the working conditions faced by immigrants.
Immigrants often have a difficult time getting accustomed to their new country and its culture, and the jobs are no different. Usually, the conditions they have to work under are quite difficult, which Sinclair is trying to convey in his work.

Answer:
During the years 1820-1850, the north and south had quite different daily lives. On the north side, working conditions were terrible as the factory system was developing. As the working conditions had worsened while the factory system was developing many people had lost their jobs which means they couldn't make money to help survive and raise their families. On the south side, cotton was extremely popular to them. Farming was the source of income and food to many people on the south side.
