The fire took the lives of 146 people most of them were women and young girls mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants.

The fire started on the 8th and 9th floor of Asch building where the Triangle waist company that manufactured blouses for ladies called shirtwaist was located.The workers were unable to escape because all the emergency exits were locked at the time to avoid them having unauthorized breaks hence a lot of people ended up jumping.

New York times also suggested at the time that the fire was started by the owners of the industry Max  Blanck and Isaac Harris to claim insurance.

The fire department arrived but they had ladders that reached only the 7th floor,

How did the South's focus on cotton cultivation separate it from the North? How did cotton
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The south was mainly agricultural, cultivating cotton in some form was most people's entire livelihood, creating sort of a cultural divide from the north. plus, the menial and arduous labour in the south was incredibly appealing for slave owners, but this didn't happen in the north where factories and mills were everywhere and staffed by non enslaved people. cotton united the two by the south growing it and the north turning it into textiles and other finished products. together they had quite a good system since each part was able to specialize
