Children were working tremendous amount of hours, in crappy conditions, and were getting very little pay. "Tiny babies of six years old with faces of sixty did an eight hour shift for ten cents a day."

They would work long hours, night and day. Workers in the factories would risk their lives everyday for 10 cents, and out their 6 year old children to work. "I regard my people as I regard my machinery. So long as they do my work for what I choose to pay them, I keep them, getting out of them all I can. What they do or how they fare outside my walls I don’t know, nor do I consider it my business to know. They must look out for themselves as I do for myself"

Many women's husbands would spend their paycheck at a Saloon and would get drunk, to the point were they would go home and get violent with their wives. Lots of women during the Gilded age would not have enough money to spent on necessary things. "According to their view, alcohol led to increased domestic violence and neglect. It decreased the income families could spend on necessities and promoted prostitution and adultery."  Source//  http://www.ushistory.org/us/39c.asp

The workers would come together to form a union and bring attention to their bosses to get better pay, better safety, and shorter hours.

The first settlement house in East London to offer social services and education to the poor workers who lived there. In 1889 Jane Addams and her friend Ellen Starr formed a Hull-House in Chicago, which eventually become the most famous settlement house in the US. In 1887, there were 74 settlements in the United States, and the number had grown to over 400 by 1890. Most of settlement houses were in Boston, Chicago, and New York.

Spargo told a company to he was going to examine machinery in the factory but really he was taking pictures of the terrible conditions the children were working in. John later wrote a book called "The Bitter Cry of Children" and the book was based on the working kids in the factories.

Mother Jones gave speeches and held rallies to bring the problem of child labor to the attention of the american public. Mother Jones also held a march by mill children in 1903. They marched about 125 miles in over 20 days in order to see President Roosevelt.

Another lesson I learned was the the government shouldn't get pushed around by large business, and that they should hold their grounds. I also think if parents found good jobs, they didn't have to send their children out to work in dangerous factories. ]]> 2017-03-16 13:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sotoa1/xcqscadc2m38/wish/160518389
