American Industrial Revolution!
The bad side of the Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was a time where inventions we're made in America, but it all started in Great Britain. When it happened in America...things went bad. soon America started using child labor, started having poor factory conditions, and have their extremely long working hours.
Child Labor
Children are forced to do work with low pay and barely any food. Children are used to reach into small spaces that older people cant.
Horrible working conditions
The workers had to work in a polluted factory and where the machines can easily hurt someone. The machines have been cutting peoples fingers off and sometimes killing the person.
Long working hours
the working hours lasted about 12-14 hours a day, over half of a day was being used to do work in the factory. Workers got punished if they protest during the working hours, the punishment could be as bad as killing their families or tar and feather them.
