In 1900, Philadelphia welcomes the new century with a burst of energy. As immigrants flow in, they find a metropolis of smoke and machines making every product under the sun. But a political machine keeps thousands of children working in the factories, too. For newly arrived Europeans and Black migrants from the South, it will take genius and grit to bend the old lines of power. This episode carries the viewer on a tour de force of the booming city that launched a baseball dynasty, a skyscraper boom, and the voice of a generation.

Philadelphia born and raised, about 8 blocks off Germantown and Mt Airy . I've lived in the Midwest for 50 years. Now I'm having a giant homesick attack. Thanks for a well made documentary.

Fun Fact: Rose Dewitt Bukatter in the 1997 film Titanic has roots in Villanova, PA. Her character is based on Lucile Carter, a teenager and survivor who was preparing for her Philadelphia society debut.

Lol I honestly thought this was about the "The Philadelphia Experiment" where a U.S. naval cruiser ship supposedly vanished out of thin air and some of its men were on the ship to see if they could basically go through a wormhole/portal but I guess this is about something totally different because I don't see not one comment talking about any of that stuff lol

This is really great stuff! It’s surprising that they never mentioned the Spanish Flu pandemic that happened from 1918-1920 I believe. But this was still an amazing documentary of the history of Philly during that time period 👍🏾

It seems Philadelphia ignored it for a very long time. Maybe because their effort to have a political even caused the sudden and immense spread. City Hall didn't listen to the warnings. Still, it's shocking it was not mentioned as it had a huge impact on Philadelphia and our city had the most deaths by far during the epidemic in the U.S. It changed the city a lot and it should have been addressed.

My Grandpa was a horse trader from Poland, came here in 1904. They lived in West Philly and he sold horses and mules to the miners and farmers upstate. He died in 1952, and my parents wrote 'cattle buyer' on his death certificate, they were ashamed of horse trading.

Whoever put this together, did it in November 1960's with respect to child labor. In addition, from assembly line these kids with missing fingers, and hands possibly, graduated to a job that takes this undesirable out of site statue 101 & 102 of title 1.

As you can see from the charts below, the 1920s was a decade of explosive growth [IMG]www.city-data.com/forum/members/kongfoocj-2234000-albums-kongfoocj-pic152889-img-20190727-010218.jpg[/IMG] Now, considering out of the top 10 cities, Cleveland, St Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh all saw smaller increases than Philly, but were also much smaller cities, I'm only speaking in relation to the rest of the top 5 cities, all of which saw massive increases of over 600,000 while Philly had an increase of only 125,000. This video shows that all of these cities, including Philly were growing rapidly until about 1920, when Philly's population growth slows dramatically. [youtube]YmPxE6YjgaY[/youtube] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9OAq6hnvtDLkY0.html Now obviously the creator of the video made some mistakes. He left out a few cities which were in the top 15. The growth in the cities it does show does seem to be in order though.

Parents sent their kids to the mills, a far better option then anything in the "Old Country" Only a short time ago, most people, even in America, lived in, by today's standards,,, abusive conditions, Most Ethnicity have white-washed their helplessness, and their disturbing past generally, choosing to focus on accomplishments, and progress. It's the way cultures of progress move on... Don't forget the ugly past, lest hard lessons be forgotten, and the achievement of ancestors be forfeited. But; Don't dwell on past misfortune, lest today's opportunity be lost.

Of course it’s wonderful that we’ve since learned how terrible and wrong that sort of child labor is, and have rightly made certain we don’t do that here anymore. We made the brave and conscientious decision to outsource that shit to Asia now.
