Description

There was a time in this country when young children routinely worked legally. As the industry grew in the period following the Civil War, children, often as young as 10 years old but sometimes much younger, laboured. They worked in industrial settings and retail stores, on the streets, on farms, and in home-based industries. It was the only means to bring food to the table. This book will reveal the sad truths about child labour in history. Looking back to humanity's darkest periods will help kids realize how lucky they are to be living in the present.
