Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a historical document from 1862, captures insights into the lives of Lancashire's factory workers during the height of the American Civil War-induced 'Cotton Famine.' It offers a poignant portrayal of the devastating impact on the region's working class, using first-hand accounts and the author's own observations. The author, clearly moved by the plight of these families, presents an unflinching examination of how the sudden loss of income and subsequent poverty led to hunger, sickness, and even death. Beyond its historical value, the book delves into enduring themes of economic hardship, human resilience, and the importance of compassion, offering insights that resonate with contemporary social and economic issues.
