industrial revolution positives and negatives
they have many benefits that have come with the industrial revolution.
these include better transport and more manufactured goods . it also created what we call
the middle class. prior to the industrial revolution there were the wealthy and those that worked
for the wealthy. now there was a middle group of people who had a job away from  wealthy landowners.
better living conditions came along with the middle class


one of the negatives that occurred at the time was the amount of pollution. the industries were run by coal powered machinery and the pollution in London was so thick that people said you could cut the air.
