in the 1800's factory life was not the best. The fumes from the machines made people sick, throw up, or even die. Children were losing hands and fingers from the machines. People had to work long hours and the factory had tight spaces. Children kinda had to work in the factories to get exta income for the family because you got at lease 5 pennies per week. The bosses wern't so friendly either. If you complained you would get fired and they had lines at the door so if somebody [usally a kid] got hurt the boss would say' next'! and the next person in line would get the job.

Why did people build most early factories along rivers?
Factories need transportation to bring in supplies needed inside the factory and to ship what is produced in the factory out to stores, the public, etc. Early factories didn't have the use of railroad and trucking transportation, so the quickest way for these early factories to bring things to the factory and ship goods out of the factory was by water. Therefore, they were built along waterways like rivers.
