I grew up in a small New England town, near waterpower and Mr. Milliken bought a factory and created many jobs. He established a small hospital, bowling alley, and day care. These were nice for the 50s. Then the workers formed a union and he offered to take workers who wanted to go ,no union, back down South. Thank you Mr. Millikan you made my childhood nicer!

@@grindle1857 they didn’t own their houses. The same people who owned the factory owned the house and pushed the house prices up to the point you could hardly afford to pay rent. Children spent their childhood in the factory usually deafened by the sound. If you got injured your on the street and off to the workhouse which is a truly horrid place which pretty much surmounted to torture. The average was 14 hour work days 6 days a week all year round. The poor couldn’t even vote 😂 you had to earn at least 10 pounds to vote

The cotton gin made cotton incredibly profitible and also ensured the expansion of slavery from 700,000 in 1790 to 3 million in 1850. Interesting how they never teach that part of the story.

Picking cotton on a hot summer day was not easy work. a factory in most places had a roof over it. The sun is relentless. Good for you but relentless. That's for a young man. As you age you can't take that heat. Cotton was a huge export to Britain and other countries. The south in the USA has the best cotton. This is true. They had free labor though. not entirely free but the price of the bought slaves and you had to feed them and take care of them good enough to work hard and produce. there in lies your problem. lol Currency was also a problem in the south. The rail system was not even close to the rail system in the north. that was a huge blow to the civil war in the south. they had the heart but not the means to keep their troops supplied while north railed supplies in and if if their were no rails they laid them.

Not much has changed. The robber barons are called Corporations, CEO's and Politicians. We give the majority of our life and productivity to the "Owners" and the government that is run by the "Owners". They, in turn, give us as little as possible but just enough to keep us from rebelling. We seem to be in a new "Gilded Age", such as the 3 billionaire space cadets.
