Mills Change Workers’ Lives

Specific skills of craftspeople no longer needed - led to protests

Rhode Island System - Samuel Slater hired families for his Pawtucket mills divided factory work into tasks provided housing led to child labor

The Lowell System

Francis Cabot Lowell water-powered textile mills that

hired young unmarried women & provided housing known as “Lowell Girls” 12-14 hours, harsh conditions womens’ organizations

Turn & talk…

to your partner and explain: What was the difference

between the Rhode Island System (Slater’s textile mills) and the Lowell System of textile mills?

Workers Organize

trade unions organize to improve pay & working conditions skilled workers join first staged strikes (refusal to work until

demands are met) Sarah G. Bagley- Lowell union organizer

Journal of a Factory Worker

Now that you’ve had the chance to participate in a simulated assembly line and learn about the details of factory life, you will write one page of journal entries from the perspective of a textile mill worker.

Be sure to include (in any order): what tasks you perform in your work day (give details) what your schedule is like (see sample time table p. 354) at least 3 problems/challenges in your job

Be creative, informational, and have fun with it!
