Children worked in the 19th century because most didn't go to school and it was better than running around in the dark. Also it got the family more money, they worked there (were hierd) because they could crawl under the machines to repair broken threads and to clean away dust or loose threads. It was good for the factory owners as they paid them less.

they worked in some factories where they had to work at the age of 5-15 they didn't go to school because they had to work so they can help their family out so they can live.

They would work in bad conditions and get injured daily. some children would sometimes rarly die on their job because back then adults didnt care much about child safety

Well, The Working Conditions were terrible. None of them were treated well and they all died at a very young age.
