Minimum sentencing laws on powder cocaine disproportionately affected <u>African Americans</u> because powder cocaine was mostly consumed by people of color.

For this reason, people of color were very much affected by minimum sentencing laws which saw a large number of them end up in prison.

Imagine you work in a steel mill in a large industrial city in England in the late 1800s. You live in a neighborhood with other
kotykmax [81]
The working conditions during the Industrial Revolution in England was very inhumane. This was clearly depicted in the movie of Les Miserables where people were forced to work in sweat shops for hours on end and get paid with a very minimal amount. People's services back then were not taken seriously by the government which caused major revolutions and chaos within society. The working conditions were very poor in terms of innovations, sanitation, and law enforcement and regulation. 

This eventually led to the Bubonic Plague (viral disease caused by ticks of rats) which took the lives of almost half of the population of Europe. This was a trigger for England and Europe in general to implement changes in their health, education, and work systems.
