Background

Child Labor- The use of children in industry or business, esp. when illegal or considered inhumane.

As time and history go on in America child labor continues in different ways. In the past we know that children were forced to work on farms and do that type of work like slaves. After the areas turned more urban and more factories became popular children were forced to work there. They are less likely to strike against anything and are much cheaper than other people.Children work in mines, glass factories, textiles, agriculture and many more for much cheaper that's why the owners liked them.

    Who is to blame?
