My topic for my research project is the Child Labor during the British Industrial Revolution. I have wroked on the treatment, the accidents, and the two types of child labor. The children were treated harshly while working. Many were injured and some were killed because the work was very hard. The children worked hard for 12-14 hours a week and got payed no money or maybe a penny a day. The children were sometimes beaten by the the over lookers or the owners. The two types of child labors were the "free labor children" and the "parish apprentice children". The parish apprentice children were orphans that were taken in by the owners and were forced to work while the free labor children were not forced and were payed.
My topic for my research project is Child Labor during the British Industrial Revolution. In my research I have found that their were two types of children who worked. There were the "parish apprentice children" and the "free labor children". "Parish apprentice children" were orphans that were bought by the rich factory owners and used for work but payed no money because they were taken in. The "free labor children" worked for low wages which could be a penny a day. They worked long and hard but they were not forced to go. I also have found out about the treatment and accidents that happened while working in the mills and factories. The children would get injured or sometimes die because the work was to dangerous or they got beaten up by the workers or over lookers. They had strict decipline and poor working conditions.

Hey Allie! This is a very interesting topic that I would never know about until you would have done research on this to be shared with us. I would love to look at some of the research you found about this topic! Seems really cool!
