Скачать или смотреть How the POOREST Victorians Really Lived (1870s)

In today's video about VICTORIAN POVERTY, we explore the real daily lives of the POOREST VICTORIANS in the 1870s, from the LONDON SLUMS and WHITECHAPEL ROOKERIES to the brutal conditions inside the VICTORIAN WORKHOUSE. We cover what VICTORIAN WORKERS actually earned, how families survived in EAST END LONDON on seven shillings a week, and what VICTORIAN CHILDREN faced working as CHIMNEY SWEEPS, MUDLARKS, and MATCH GIRLS in places like BRYANT AND MAY. We look at how THOMAS BARNARDO responded to thirty thousand homeless children on London's streets, how WILLIAM BOOTH built the SALVATION ARMY in response to what he saw, and how reformers like LORD SHAFTESBURY fought to pass the CHIMNEY SWEEPERS ACT and FACTORY ACTS. We examine VICTORIAN DISEASE, TUBERCULOSIS rates, INFANT MORTALITY in INDUSTRIAL BRITAIN, and the devastating impact of the LONG DEPRESSION of 1873. From the TWO PENNY HANGOVER to HENRY MAYHEW'S street surveys, this is VICTORIAN HISTORY brought to life, the version that textbooks rarely tell.
