Factory life
Life in a factory
Life in a factory
factory life in the 1830s was tough. There was women and children working in factories. The worked for 12 hours each day. Under the Lowell system they were only hiring young single women. The young women were coming from rural areas to urban areas. The slater system required young children that worked hard long hours. They often worked on a farm. They moved from rural areas to underground factories.
Children in the 1830s
These children would work long 12 hour shifts just cause they had to. They didn't have much childhood all they did was work work work.
Hard work
Women would also put in 12 hour shifts. They did a lot of what was called weaving and sowing. They would do so much work and they only got paid 3 dollars a week. That 35 cents an hour.
Full rooms
The places they would work in was harsh. They had no ac or anything like that. They were all crowded and full of germs. People would get sick all the time.
Women's rightsπ©π©π©π©π©π©
What we think
Women's rights were violated so much back in the 1800s. They didn't have a say in anything. They just were the person that would listen to the men. What ever the men told them to say they would do. But the rich gang society stands up for that. We want women to have equal rights just as men have. Women are just as good as men. So I'm a strong supporter of women's rights.
