They often lost fingers, and those working in the mines had difficulty breathing.]]> 2019-04-02 17:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347733006 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347735217 Most children mainly women would not receive many other opportunities to succeed outside of the textile corporations.

Children were also paid a lot less (10-20 percent) of what an adult would earn for the same job. Children often worked longer and harder hours than adults did, since there were no laws protecting them. Businesses thought that they were benefiting children by preventing them from starving.]]> 2019-04-02 17:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347737303 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347739581 In the 1800s workers often striked against factories, however their protests were not very successful.  Then later in the 1900s lawmakers started to make laws which protected the workers from the long and harsh work.  The US congress passed some laws in 1918 and 1922, however the Supreme Court declared them both unconstitutional.  In 1924 the states also proposed an end to child labor, however the states did not approve this.]]> 2019-04-02 17:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347739581 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347751915 In 1938 the Fair Labor standards act set a limit on child labor and how long children could work. Through this law, the well-being and education of children is ensured. Nowadays there is a limit of how long children under the age of 18 can work. Also due to human rights and advances in technology, children do not have to work in harsh conditions.]]> 2019-04-02 17:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347751915 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347756764 2019-04-02 17:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/347756764 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348375636 2019-04-04 06:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348375636 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348375750 2019-04-04 06:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348375750 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348377805 2019-04-04 06:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348377805 1041398 https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348377986 2019-04-04 06:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1041398/4of3it881r1e/wish/348377986
