Due to the increase of workers’ wages were cut which made workers have bad reactions to the growth of Manchester. Due to industrialization that took place in Manchester during the nineteenth century it had a period of rapid growth which led to the issue of over population. Robert Southey claimed that you could not find a place more destitute than Manchester due to the numerous crowds of people in the street and the endless number of brick and blackened houses (doc. 2). I would expect Robert Southey to write like this directly because he was a romantic poet and wrote with his emotions not facts.

Jeremy Soto HIST 7602-U50 Book Overview: Over Here by David M. Kennedy This book by Kennedy dives deep into the events that led to World War I and shows the culture of the American people during very tumultuous times. Secrets of legal organized militias are exposed along with desperate attempts by the Government to control and manipulate the minds of Americans through the Sedition act and the introduction of citizen spies. Kennedy is very descriptive about this war in general and sets the tone for this entire scene in the prologue. The references made to Orwell, which can also be made today, tell how deeply involved the federal government was in the lives of everyday people. Many have questioned President Wilson’s motives and reasoning

In April 1939 John Steinbeck published The Grapes of Wrath, a fervent depiction of the plight one dispossessed family faced from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma, to the ‘Promised Land’ of California. This sociologically and politically accurate publication evoked a surge of emotional reactions to the general message of the novel. However, this ability to evoke emotion aroused mass hysteria from part of the American public, and notably in politicians and self-appointed guardians of ethics. A number of early critics, and even readers, remarked on the vulgarity of The Grapes of Wrath. Upon its publication it was burned by farmers and for years after was among the most frequently banned books in America because of its profanity (Stanley 43).

In modern demographics, population growth is used to analyze and predict pollution, traffic, and economic changes. In the eighteenth century, the population spike of Britain is responsible for the vast difference in the way Britain treats America, inevitably leading to rebellion. All the extra population migrates to America, and the population there is also rapidly growing. The colonists are confined east of the Appalachian Mountains, and with the lack of proper technology begin to feel the pressure. This fosters the fragmentation of society: communities fall apart, there are land disputes left and right, and seeing all of this, Britain begins to take firm control of its empire, passing the Proclamation of 1763.
