What Childhood could have been like

                Life for the Duke of Wellington should have been a lot easier for him than a peasant. Peasants and the working class often had deformed bodies due to the working conditions imposed on them. However new reforms in the mid-to-late seventeen hundreds allowed working hours to be reduced and conditions improved significantly. Although there were no more slaves, the peasants were still poor. His father was the First Earl of Mornington, so it can be assumed he was in the nobility therefore he must have had a much more relaxed and easygoing life. On the other hand, England or Britain at that time already had a new constitution and experienced a period of rapid growth due to the Industrial Revolution. New ideas like the locomotive, steam engine, water wheel, and new techniques had just been developed by inventors. It should have been fascinating in his life time to see these newly invented inventions. Back then horseback riding and carriages were probably the most often type of traveling. However because of the invention of the locomotive and rocket it became easier to travel. The Duke of Wellington probably shouldn’t have been hungry to much considering his father was an Earl and the fact that during the industrial revolution there were more food because of the agricultural revolution. New ideas of society should have been introduced to the Duke of Wellington because of the enlightened thinking of Rousseau, Voltaire, Marry Wollstonecraft, and others. The Duke of Wellington should have experienced a fascinating life because of all these new changes and inventions in Britain.
