Child Labor in U.S. History - The Child Labor Education Project
Child Labor in U.S. History - The Child Labor Education Project: "By then, American children worked in large numbers in mines, glass factories, textiles, agriculture, canneries, home industries, and as newsboys, messengers, bootblacks, and peddlers."
My Grandmother worked in mills when she was 12 years old. Her life was not fancy but she created a good life for her family. She kept a small house and cooked a very good Sunday dinner. She was devout and studied the Bible. She knitted and crocheted beautifully. Her sons were leaders who gave much to learning and the defense of the country. When she died in 1981 few took notice. How far we get in our lives depends not on the quality of what we do but, it seems, on what people see us as.
