Question

This primary source is a cynical description of life in a Lowell factory complex by Amelia, a young girl working in the factory. The Lowell factory system employed mostly young girls from the surrounding farm communities. The girls lived under strict rule-based supervision in factory-owned dormitories and worked long hours for low pay at the factory textile machines. By the 1840s, harsh factory conditions began to spark organized labor resistance and put pressure on political leaders to improve working conditions and wages-the beginning of the labor movement in the United States.
