Political Cartoon
This political cartoon represents the struggles of the industrial working class during the Industrial Revolution. Families, including children, were expected to work long hours in dangerous and dirty factories. Children were often placed near heavy, hazardous machines, which lead to accidents and even deaths. Aside from the dangers of working in a factory during that time, children as young as six worked horribly long hours. This cartoon shows how hard factory owners overworked the children and adults during the Industrial Revolution. View the political cartoon below.
