Industrial revolution had many positive effects but along with this it had many negative impact also like poor working and living condition of labor, low wages etc. this created a division among society and led to the development of social class. After very long period of struggle, bargaining reform bill and trade union acts were passed. All these difference among society brought Victorian value and Victorian compromise.
