Answer: Safer working conditions in factories.

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the extract above, workers in America used to suffer unspeakable horrors whilst working in factories due to the reluctance of business owners to make factory conditions better as they chased profits and ignored the welfare of their fellow men.

Workers Rights movements rose up to lobby for workers which led to reform movements in states such New York and Illinois where laws were created directing that factories introduce safer working conditions to reduce workplace injuries. About 22 states even passed work injury compensation laws by 1913.
