Super capitalists, no social safety net; then. I don't know, why people are so cruel; I guess they would still do it today, if there were no laws to protect children,like it is still common in many other countries.

I read somewhere that factories were required to provide a certain amount of schooling daily, so in some ways children benefited even in those horrible conditions and years.
