Step-by-step explanation:

the following picture shows that Women and children were often employed in the textile industry during the first century of industrialization. Their smaller fingers were often better at threading the machinery. Despite routinely working 16 hours, or longer, a day they were paid little.

Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly inadequate quarters. Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.

Answer:

The first European immigrants are depicted passing the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor after crossing the Atlantic in Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper article titled "an ocean steamer passing the statue of liberty." 1800’s. By observing their facial expressions in this artwork, we can understand how thrilled they were to be in America and looking for a fresh opportunity in their lives. In addition, between 1886 and 1924, New York saw the entry of about 14 million immigrants into the United States. They knew they were in the country of their dreams when they saw the Statue of Liberty.
