Why did manufacturers hire children to work in their factories?
ErickaMckaygp7709
Simply because they could. No one in power was looking out for the welfare of those children. Children were cheap and easily replaced when they became sick or injured. They could be taught to do monotonous tasks and could not speak up for themselves. They were extremely vulnerable to exploitation by wealthy factory owners.
