Why was steerage considered the worst accommodations on ships traveling from Europe to America?
The people in steerage were at the bottom of the ship and below water level. There were no windows, no rooms, and very little of anything else. The ships in the 1900's divided decks according to classes of people. The decks were separated with locked gates and the upper deck people who paid the most for passage never met or saw the people on the other decks. The immigrants below were locked in so they couldn't have access to the upper decks. They were considered the poorest dirtiest people on the ship so we're sold the worse accommodations.

What was the main reason the titanic death toll was so high?
There were 3 economic levels on the Titanic. The very top of the ship were cabins and a deck only for wealthy passengers. People like Rockefeller were on the upper deck. The center deck was for people of more modest means, and they didn't mix with the upper deck passengers. At the lowest level of the ship was steerage. This was below the waterline and it was for poor people and immigrants. They were locked in and couldn't leave steerage. When the ship hit the iceberg and began to take on water the people in steerage couldn't escape because the doors that would allow them to the other decks was locked. They died and were the majority of the deaths. That is why the death toll was so high.
