Effects of the Industrial Revolution: Child Labor

 A child millworker is shown here. She runs 4 sides of the mill on 48 cents a day. When asked how old she was, she hesitated, then said, "I don't remember," then added confidentially, "I'm not old enough to work, but do just the same."


Here shows several young boys working in a textile factory in the late 19th century.
