In the early 20th century, northern millers looking for cheaper jobs and less regulations found the doors of the south wide open. Children accounted for more than 22 per cent of the South Textile workforce, compared to 6 per cent in New England.

Working in action is a convincing contribution, and the only remedy Length of the book m Study the reform of child labor, racism and political consensus in the era of the progressive era..
