Mill Girls
Many questions continued to ponder regarding the existence of the USA and its territories during the American Revolution. America developed a large form of enterprises that involved the use of power-driven machines in producing goods and services that were initially produced locally. The early factories were established in the USA around 1970 by Slater Samuel. Industrialization necessitated demand for workers as they demanded good working conditions as well as better wages. Also, the workers demanded labor organizations that protected them from oppression (Brands, n.pag). Particularly, the factory girls could tell their own story regarding experiences while working in the mill factories. Different classes of females existed in mill operatives as they devoted much of their time working.
Mills couldn’t pay the girls operatives desired pay despite working for long hours that is 13 hours per day. The operatives in the mills couldn’t be allowed to form labor organizations to advocate for improved working conditions which limited their freedom. The American workers were treated better as they could be compensated with reasonable wages, unlike mill girls who received little pay. This created disparities between the mill girls and the American workers. The mills were regarded as dens of shame as they manifested lack of freedom among the workers which further worsened the situation of workers. In regards to the lack of freedom for girls working in Mill, it further manifested slavery and discrimination based on race and ethnicity.

Lack of air freedom implies lack of independence in the mills as Americans were granted more benefits as compared to mill girls (Brands, n.pag). These young virtuous and amiable girls were initiated to shame through presented corrupt nature of factories. This deprived them of equal opportunities as Americans who were working in the mills.
