3 Things I Learned
1. I learned more about what was happening in other regions of the world at this time. I found it so interesting that so many significant things would happen in such near proximity of each other.
2. I also learned about many of the specifics of child labor, its true horrors and its path to reform. Some of the punishments inflicted on the poor, over worked children, greatly shocked and horrified me.
3. Finally, I learned more about the three significant contributors to the factory system. I never realized that Crompton never received recognition or money for his invention that so greatly impacted the world until after his death. In that sense, his story reminded me greatly of so many famous artists.
2 Things That Interested Me
1. I found the fact that the Cherokee nation fought against the Indian Removal Act and won very interesting. Even more interesting to me was the fact that after winning, a mere three years later they allowed themselves to be removed from their land.
2. I found it interesting that children based on their age were paid different wages. It seemed that merit or quality had nothing to do with the payment they received, but merely age.
1 Question I Still Have
1. Did the Cherokee nation agree to the treaty made in 1835 or was it a decision made by an individual at the top of their government system?
