Answer 2

Actually, "serfdom" was long gone in most of Europe by the middle of the 19th century (when the Industrial Revolution had really kicked in). The true difference could be summed up in two areas:

1. The nature of work: Prior to the industrial revolution, work was performed primarily in the home. People produced goods or services, and charged what the market would allow. After industrialization, people WENT someplace (usually a factory) and sold their time as well as their labor. They were compensated by the number of hours they spent in work, and had little control over the means of production or any other aspect of the process.

2. Europe was flooded with new consumer items. Inexpensive, quality textiles was the first development, soon followed by other consumer items. People could afford things that, previously, would have been difficult to acquire. This trend continued, with periodic retreats, until today.

There were other developments too. Emerging technologies, a perceived need for colonies as a source of raw materials and markets for finished goods, etc. Some have suggested that the industrial revolution increased the average life span, but not necessarily the quality of life.

Answer 3

Serfdom in UK ended long before the industrial revolution started. The IR started in 1725 with the invention of the steam engines in Cornwall. Serfdom ended in Tudor times. It was the enclosures which drove people from the land and into the city's.

At first life was very much harder. the conditions in city's was bad, work was dangerous. education standards dropped because children were put to work where as in the small communities children usually got some informal education.

1851 was the great exhibition in London. by then living conditions were much better. However it was still rear for village or small towns people to have gone much out side their own domain. It took the 1 shilling return ticket to change that.

Answer 4

Agricultural labourers went from living in one room huts in the country, to living in one room in a house or in a cellar. The only real differences were the pollution, over-crowding and eventually greater threat from disease.
However as far as serfdom was concerned this was more of an issue on main land Europe than England, there are some that believe that serfdom didn't exist as such in England, and in fact it was more seen as a mutual sort of co-operative, ie. If the Lord and Master didn't look after the basic needs of the peasant farmer, the peasant farmer was unable to produce the food that was needed by the lord of the manor. Similarly, if the Peasant didn't supply him with enough food he would lose his master's protection.
