Summary

Three things I learned:

• Britain refused to let people leave the country because they did not what industrialization to spread to other nations
• Communism believes that government will crumble and no longer exist
• William Wilberforce led the movement to end slavery and slave trade in Britain

Two things I found interesting:

• many of the different -isms are actually interconnected.
• Factory jobs offered higher wages for women, despite the fact that they only made 2/3 of what men made

One question I still have:

• Why did life expectancy go up during the Industrial Revolution if living and working conditions were so poor?
