The name of the multifamily dwellings in many American cities that were usually between four and six stories high and housed dozens of families living side by side was tenements.

<h3>What were the tenements?</h3>

Tenements were small, low-rise apartment buildings that were frequently crowded, dimly lit, and lacking in indoor plumbing and adequate ventilation. Many of these tenements were located in the Lower East Side neighborhood of the city. Two-thirds of New York City's population, or over 2.3 million people, were residing in tenement buildings by 1900.

The typical tenement building was five to seven stories tall and took up almost the entire lot (usually 25 feet wide and 100 feet long). Many tenements were originally single-family homes, and many older buildings were changed into tenements by expanding them in the backyard or by adding floors to the top. Little air and light could enter with less than a foot of space between buildings.

There was no ventilation in the interior rooms of many tenements, and the only apartments that received light were those facing the street. Later, speculators started constructing brand-new tenements, frequently utilizing low-quality materials and expedient building techniques. Even when brand-new, this type of home was at best uncomfortably unsafe and at worst extremely so.

What is human race: the history of racial typing???
Naya [18.7K]

Answer - Race as a categorizing term referring to human beings was first used in the English language in the late 16th century. Until the 18th century it had a generalized meaning similar to other classifying terms such as type, sort, or kind. Occasional literature of Shakespeare’s time referred to a “race of saints” or “a race of bishops.” By the 18th century, race was widely used for sorting and ranking the peoples in the English colonies—Europeans who saw themselves as free people, Amerindians who had been conquered, and Africans who were being brought in as slave labour—and this usage continues today.

The peoples conquered and enslaved were physically different from western and northern Europeans, but such differences were not the sole cause for the construction of racial categories. The English had a long history of separating themselves from others and treating foreigners, such as the Irish, as alien “others.” By the 17th century their policies and practices in Ireland had led to an image of the Irish as “savages” who were incapable of being civilized. Proposals to conquer the Irish, take over their lands, and use them as forced labour failed largely because of Irish resistance. It was then that many Englishmen turned to the idea of colonizing the New World. Their attitudes toward the Irish set precedents for how they were to treat the New World Indians and, later, Africans.
