Content: Urbanization led to a serious problem of overcrowding. The three
economic classes were the rich, average, and the immigrants. With low taxes this allowed
the rich to spend on frivalous items such as horse and carriages. In contrast the average
would only use their money for the neccessities in survival. At the bottom were the
immigrants that were forced to live in unsanitary conditions and dank, damp basements. Not
only were there differences of wealth or lack of but there was a difference in women and
men's treatment. For example women did not have the freedom to enter pool room's, taverns
and even bowling allies. Choices for women were working in stores and factories. Even if
you came from a rich family your choices would have been nursing or teaching. Coming from
a poor family women tended to just become a domestic servent.
