Child Employer:
I really wanted this piece to showcase the conditions that children were working in during the United States Industrial revolution era. During the early 1900s, children were said to have always labor workers. The arrival of a newborn to a rural family was viewed by the parents as a future beneficial laborer and an insurance policy for the parents old age. These children worked in incredibly harsh conditions. They worked in factories, coal mines, as well as chimney sweeps. Children were preferable to adults because of their size, and ability to squeeze into tight spaces. Many of these children were injured or killed due to the conditions that they worked in. Many of their stories have been over shadowed by the great accomplishments the industrial revelation achieved.
