Before child labor laws, working-class children, like the boys in the picture, worked long hours on hazardous jobs. Many of these workers were aged 10 or less. What are some of the reasons mine and factory owners would hire children for certain jobs? Why do you think the children’s parents allowed their children to work?

The main reasons for hiring children were:

a. they were small in size and could fit easily in spaces in mines and factories where adults could not.

b. they were easy to control

c. they could be paid far less

Explanation:

Parents allowed their children to work because this provided them with extra incomes. Child labour was not viewed as a problem hence it was normal for parents to allow their children to work.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
