The Children’s Rights Movement changed the 1920’s drastically. Children were treated very poorly during the Industrial Revolution. Many men and woman did not care how they treated children. Parents cared but they needed the money to survive. Some causes of the Children’s Rights Movement, were some families did not have enough money to feed their families and survive. This caused them to send there children to work in factories. The owners would approach the parents and say your children will be fine and convince the parents to send their children to work in factories and mines. If the parents refused the factory owners would force the parent’s signatures. The Children’s Rights Movement went on in the 1920s. The Children’s Rights Movement was a success. Children stopped working in factories and were not hurt.
Children suffered very much so during the 1920’s. Yes the children suffered different injustices. They were deprived of their child hood and healthy body’s. They would not go to school and not be able to meet friends. They would get sick from the dust and they would have many breathing problems. Their hands, fingers, arms, and legs would be cut off from these big machines.
I do think children took a big part in fighting for their rights in the 1920’s.They protested and walked the streets convincing men and woman to not send their children to work. Mother Jones played a big role in the children’s rights movement. They called her Mother Jones because she protected working children. Mother Jones led 200 children on a march, called the “Children’s Crusade” from Philadelphia to
New York. They carried banners that read “we want to go to school!” Mother Jones wanted President Theodore Roosevelt to see these children but he refused. She protested with the children for a long time. Also in 1903 she helped 100,000 strikers in the Kensington Mills near
Philadelphia 16,000 were children. Children knew they shouldn’t be working in factories and coal mines. Them along with many others knew they should e in school. Mother Jones helped many children but was not 100% successful. The laws of children working in factories and dangerous other places did not change for a very long time. Mother Jones did play a big role in the Children’s Rights Movement of the 1900’s.
The Children’s Rights Movement was successful. Although the laws were changed many years after the movement it and the people who were involved played a very big part in this movement. It was successful because if it wasn’t we would be in factories right now and not in school. Many children benefited from the Children’s Rights Movement because now they will not have to suffer and they did not suffer anymore once the Children’s Rights Movement ended.
The Children’s Rights Movement thought that children should be in school getting an education and not in big factories getting hurt. The Children’s Rights Movement changed life for children drastically. Many people took part in the Children’s Rights Movement of the 1920’s
