__**Welcome

Summary**__: During the industrial revolution, there was a lot of child labor in factories. In most cases these children came from very poor families and their parents couldn’t afford to take care of them. So parents would sometimes turn their children over to factories to work and be taken better care of. Of course that was never the case. Children began working before the age of seven. These children didn’t do much of anything else but work, most 50-70 hour weeks. Most of them were also uneducated because they didn’t have time to attend school.

__**Relation to liberty and equality**__: Child labor is related to liberty because these children had no liberty .These children were work long and hard hours for a very low salary had no rights. If they had had liberty then they would not be working such long hours in such terrible conditions .Often children had to work with large, heavy, and dangerous machinery. Sometimes children were injured or even killing while in these factories. If these children had liberties they might have also been paid more for all the work they were doing. They might have also been able to get some schooling before they started working in factories. click here for the commercial.
