* Long hours: Workers in the 19th century often worked very long hours, sometimes up to 12 hours per day, six days per week. This left little time for rest and relaxation, and made it difficult for workers to maintain their health.
* Unsafe working conditions: Working conditions in the 19th century were often very unsafe. Workers were exposed to dangerous machinery, toxic chemicals, and other hazards that could cause serious injury or death.
* Lack of benefits: Workers in the 19th century often did not have access to any benefits, such as health insurance, paid time off, or pensions. This made it difficult for workers to save for the future or protect themselves from financial hardship.
These financial reasons brought workers to great pains and led to the rise of the labor movement in the United States. Workers organized unions to fight for better wages, hours, and working conditions. They also lobbied for legislation to protect workers' rights.
