get to be kids and they got hurt and sick. We received our information from the two stories, The Story of my Cotton Dress and Mr.Coal’s Story. First, we will be reviewing how kids got hurt by their physical labor, when working in the cotton mill. In cotton mills, children often got hurt. Why you may ask? Because their jobs were to go INSIDE a thread machine to fix it if it got stuck. This is not fair to the kids, and then they could lose an arm or a leg, and STILL have to show up to work the next

Child labor. It is one of the most controversial things in our time (set in 1900’s). However, it is treated like an average, everyday thing.
