Hey cole what's your NHD topic on?

Oh, well my topic is on Child labor in the British Industrial Revolution. In my topic identification thing that we had to do for history I talked about how the children were treated and taken advantage of. It was pretty awful. I mean can you imagine having to work for like 12 hour days all the time with barely any payment?! (informal)


My topic for the National History Day topic is on Child labor in the British Industrial Revolution. I focus a lot on the treatment and ages of the children who were working in factories at the time. As changes started to occur the age of the children working went from a low age of eight to a higher age of around 15. This dramatic change has stuck around even today. Most people around the ages of 15/16 are having to get jobs in order to buy things that they desire or to pay for gas for their transportation on a daily basis. (formal)
