The correct description of Francis Lowell is: He hired young women to work in his Massachusetts textile mill, provided housing, and paid them a fair wage

Francis Lowell (1775-1817) was an American businessman considered to be the first individual that established the first textile mill that worked the cotton to produce clothes. Lowell hired young women to work in his Massachusetts textile mill, provided housing, and paid them a fair wage. After his trip to England where he learned about textiles, he founded in Massachusetts the Boston Manufacturing Company. He treated his employees very decently and the operations run smoothly.
