    The 1800's was the time of the Industrial Revolution. During the Industrial Revolution, the working conditions were very bad especially for the lower classes. They were forced into awful cramp cities filled with crime and money that they were receiving were awful. During that time, they used to work children a lot because children were young and could often do thing better than adult workers could. Children were overworked and worked for about 14 hours per day! Now a days that would be seen as child labor especially with the awful working conditions. Children--mostly boys- - were usually taken out of school to work in these awful conditions to support there family. Now-a days, it usually required to go to school until a certain age.
