  • 2. 

    Americans worked 12-hour a day seven days every week during the 19th century.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During the 19th century, Americans indeed worked 12-hour days, seven days a week. This was a common practice in industries such as factories and mining, where long hours were required to meet the demands of production. The lack of labor laws and regulations during this time period allowed employers to exploit their workers and enforce such grueling work schedules. It wasn't until later in the 19th century and early 20th century that labor movements and unions fought for better working conditions and shorter work hours.
