United States History
Child Labor during the Second Industrial Revolution
Content Summary: The second Industrial Revolution brought tremendous change to not only
the economy, but also to the social and political realms of the United States. The working class
that emerged found tedious, low paying, and dangerous working conditions. Employment was
not stable, ill laborers didnt receive pay or sick leave, and any protests caused immediate
dismissal. This meant that many families were unable to live off one income. Working class
families depended on every member, including children, to contribute to the household income.
Children in the US had traditionally worked by contributing in family businesses, but their
employment in the textile mills robbed them of an education and often placed them in unsafe
work environments. This lesson module examines child labor during the second Industrial
Revolution and evaluates its relationship to child labor in the modern global market.
Objectives:
-Students will be able to analyze primary and secondary sources in order to gain an
understanding of the working conditions during the second Industrial Revolution.
-Students will use the SOURCES framework to analyze primary sources.
-Students will be able to write from the perspective of a child factory worker during the Industrial
Revolution.
-Students will compare and contrast child labor in the past and present.
-Students will write an explanatory essay that evaluates how child labor in the second Industrial
Revolution relates to child labor in the modern global market.
