Historical documents revealed American children worked in large numbers in mines, glass factories, textiles, agriculture, canneries, home industries, and as newsboys, messengers, bootblacks, and peddlers.And by 1900, their efforts had resulted in state and local legislation designed to prevent extreme child labor.
