How did the Lowell factory system impact the lives of the American people?

Answer:
The Lowell factory system made people move into cramped and unsafe cities and buildings. They worked long hours with no breaks (10-12 hours) It was a huge change from just being on independent farms to being in a big city. Also, the loud noises were unbearable. The machines were also very unsafe with lots of exposed moving parts. Another big change was that there were girls working the machines. Usually, girls didn't work. It was also very hot because the windows were kept shut. For more information, look at this website:
