<em>During the </em><u><em>Industrial Revolution</em></u><em>, people from the </em><u><em>countryside </em></u><em>flocked to cities and </em><u><em>factory towns</em></u><em> looking for a better life.

They believed that they had a wonderful opportunity to try something new and take part in an era of wonderful progress. Unfortunately, </em><u><em>disillusionment </em></u><em>soon followed when workers realized that their new life wasn't at all what they thought it would be.</em>
