Child Labor began in the Industrial Revolution , Children that were as young as the age of six years old worked hard amount of hours for little fees or no money at all.  Kids worked up to 19 hours a day with a break of one hour.  This was just extremely severe ,but it wasnt common for children who worked in the factories for 12 to 14 hours with the same little breaks.  Children also suffered horrible working conditions , conditions that was so severe body parts sometimes got decapitated if machines werent handle in a specific way.  The year of 1833 there was a turning point.  Children was only payed only a fraction of what the adults were payed.  Even sometimes they werent even payed.  Orphans would be the prime victims during the child labor struggles.  Children who were infact older than 16 worked more hours at night.  The machines in some ways were physically easier than picking cotton or whatever products that were demanded  .Picking cotton was infact easier because of the less physical damages of the children or the adults.If products werent made straight down to the core , some would be severly injured by whoms in charge.  Child Labor finally saw the light of extinction in the year of 1938 on june 25th , by Franklin D. Roosevelt.  FDR demanded to prohibit children employment in jobs under the age of 18 if working at jobs that are dangerous.

womens suffrage

this picture displays a life lived of a women with little to no rights having to do house wife chores.

since earlier years women werent considered as important as men. They were considered intellectually inferior to men but also a major source and temptation and evil.  Women were displayed as being squeamish and weaker as aposed to men who were bright and strong minded and also the weight of the families.  During the 1800's women wasnt able to vote and they were displayed as stay at home mothers.  Women could not work because financials was the mans job .Women would work in the factorys with children to produce things, women didnt have say in politics such as voting, and many jobs except factory werent guaranteed to women also. But all had a turning point through the years.  In 1839 a law was passed that if marriages didnt last the children can be under the mothers responsibility.  In 1857 women could leave their husbands if they were treated unfairly. 1870 women was allowed to keep ownership of the profits they made after work. 1891 women werent forced to live in the same residence as their husband if they didnt choose to.A big alteration in womens life were the journey for the  rights to vote it was established in year 1848 on july at the seneca falls women rights convention.But the actual conformation of being allowed to vote was in the early 1920's.  Womens total rights change womens place in the world and society.

slavery in the united states

The peak of the American Revolution, 20 percent of the population in the thirteen colonies was of African race. The legalization of owning slaves started in every colony. The Financial realities of the southern colonies caused the institution to legalize in Massachusetts in 1641.During the revolutionary era, most of African Americans lived in either Virginia or Maryland they made up more than 50 to 69 percent of the population.
Slaves were sold by theyre owners , sometimes them being sold was because of a punishment or for profit.They were not taught to read because slave owners didnt feel that they should be bright and educated.But at dusk slaves would educate themselves with books and began to interprate things and read to have a natural understanding of life.slaves would work from sunrise to sunset in the field , the most needed crop was cotton.As for families , mothers and children were seperated.When a female slave grows up they are demanded to have children , sometimes they are tooken against there will and raped by their owners.Young slaves such as young girls would have to have children so their would be more slaves for work.When slaves get hitched the masters would put a broom down and they would jump over it to pronounce them husband and wifes.
