David Rowland: Child Labor

Summary: David Rowland, like most children back in the late 1800's was working to support his family by working during the week and not going to school and get the education that children deserve. This primary source is an interview that involved Michael Sadler and took place on June 1st, 1831. This interview was taking place because Sadler was concerned about the conditions of children when they work in the factories. Child labor was a terrible thing back the the early 1800's and it is remembered as one of the worst times in american history.
