__**WORKING CONDITIONS:**__
In the early 1900's working conditions were challenging, unfair and led to many strikes. Many people worked in the cotton industry, and factories that required working with machinery for many hours during the day. The weather was very hot and humid, which made the conditions almost unbearable to work in. Many worked for 10 and 12 hours a day, with few breaks. Small children were also forced to work and because of their size they mostly spent time moving between the machinery. These jobs were highly dangerous and some died. People started to very upset because they would work hard for long hours in horrible conditions and would not get paid very much. which led to people going on strikes.
