How did construction of the Great Wall of China affect daily life in Ancient China?

Answer:
The Great Wall was built mainly by forced labor under Imperial decree. When people were needed to build or man the Wall, they were usually conscripted by the Emperor from the local populace, in effect defending their own homes. However, many slaves were also forced to work in the construction many of them died. The great wall was built to prevent invasion.
