The market revolution
The market revolution had a significant effect on people’s relations, which affected their social and religious life. Some of the social changes include a change in family roles; one of the family roles was the family’s economic role, which reduced from shifting from the farms to urban areas—childbearing rate reduced from an average of seven children to five children for women. Fashion changed, especially for women, due to a change in work patterns from domesticity to contributing to arduous labor. Religion was affected negatively, where 10% of the population attended church, and Christian ministers were only 2000 and lower. However, the Methodists increased as deism and congregations reduced. All the social changes that occurred rendered some women and girls torn between two lifestyles, as they try to keep the traditional norms and keep up with the new way of life.
