America Early 1900’s

from Public Access America · host Public Access America

An overview of life starting around 1900. Go back in time with us and get a feel for frontier life as it was in America. Life in the 1900's was depressing and was an era filled with extremely hard and streanous work that didn't offer any future for the average Canadian in doing better. If you were an average wage earner you would be virtually stuck in the same job for the rest of your life, while rich maintained their wealth mainly caused by the low taxes. Living conditions were poor for average Canadians and even worse for the arriving immigrants. At this time some of the modern convienences were just being invented and even if it were for sale only the extremely rich had the option of purchasing the items. Sports being very new, in the aspect of it being organized was small time compared to present day. Traveling required time and was uncomfortable. Only the rich could have the luxurious accommodations for those long journeys. Many jobs were available to most people but you were under constant scrutiny while working and would have to be willing to do any thing the boss wanted. I believe my friends and I would most likely resent and despise it if we had to live in the 1900's.
