If you are from the USA and can ignore the shoes thing, start with implementing good federal child labor laws! „Conservative“ governors are currently dismantling those laws in the USA.
@@debraryan3300 - Florida lawmakers are debating a bill (recently passed by the House) that would eliminate long-standing state guidelines on work hours for teens, allowing employers to schedule 16- and 17-year-olds for unlimited hours-including during the school year-and eliminate meal or rest breaks. - Kentucky lawmakers introduced a bill to allow nonprofits to hire 12- and 13-year-olds (federal law prohibits most non-agricultural employment for children under 14), and a bill to prohibit the state’s labor commissioner from setting standards on child labor that exceed minimum protections under the FLSA, effectively repealing state standards that require meal and rest breaks for minor workers and that limit work hours for 16- and 17-year-olds.
@ewill2318 Smallpox is the only virus we've had a lot of success at containing. Afaik there is no wild smallpox now. A bigger problem is not vaccinating kids with the MMR vaccine. Measles can kill. It almost killed me in 1959. Measles is almost 100% contagious. It's dangerous.
I like your channel for historical photos the best because of the choice of pics, music, disappearing banners and the fact that the photos are left on screen long enough to actually take in the entirety of the scene. We are allowed to actually study the photo. Thank You
The ghastly treatment of children was horrible at times. That contrasting Detroit street view was very sombre. The 'nope' images, as ever, just left me astonished at some men's courage.
Through most of our history children worked as soon as they were able.poeple on farms had children as young as four riding horses,milking animals, watching younger siblings etc. we have become spoiled.most children of the past couldn't just play all day.
@@diane5593 Helping around the house and working on the family farm is one thing. Working in a factory under inhumane and hazardous conditions is entirely different. Did you see the one where the child lost some fingers because he fell into a machine?
My grandmother worked at the Indianapolis Glove factory when she was 12 years old. I am sure that it was similar to the factories that they showed here. She and all her brothers and sisters worked to place food on the table. Their dad left them leaving my great grandmother and the children to survive on their own. That was in 1911.
My grandfather worked in the coal mines in Pennsylvania when he was a young boy. The buckets he carried dragged on the ground he was so small. Horrible conditions.
I agree with what was said about this video. The banners disappear quickly so we can admire the pictures. This was a great video really enjoyed it. Watched from Huntington West Virginia.
@@queenbunnyfoofoo6112 it’s a reminder of what happens when you don’t vaccinate against preventable disease. We probably couldn’t eliminate smallpox now, and it was targeted vaccination efforts that eradicated it worldwide.
@@bartstewart8644some? In at least one state children are allowed to work in slaughterhouses in the slaughter area and to drive themselves to their night shift. Children lose their lives in the USA working underage!
Those poor children grew up to be the greatest generation of unity and giving. Youth today are not expected to work until they graduate college. Hardship and labor for survival built character and responsibility to society.
I never realized that people were tarred and feathered right through to the WW1. The sniper was caught because someone saw the tree didn't move in the breeze
It was neccessary for survival, young people need to see this and learn to appreciate society today. Life is so much easier, appreciate it or prepare to go back. Everybody must do their part to make the world a better place❤
The man with the beard....his cats must have loved him! 😂 1:57 Did that really work? 🤔 I've seen them in cartoons, but didn't know they were actually made! 😮 Thank you for these amazing, interesting, funny and/or heartbreaking pictures. 😊
Love the NOPE! and Double NOPE! on those high rise photos with the construction workers not phased at all of the height! Yikes!!! I would have fell over way before getting up to that height! LOL! 😀
Wondering if some of the workers on the high steel, especially in NYC weren't Mohawk Ironworkers from the Kahnawake in Quebec. If so, would be nice to give them credit for their outstanding skill doing dangerous work.
@@mimib8032 yes, but it always has a positive connotation. Example: The boy wanted a blue bike, but when he saw the motorcycle it took his breath away, for he was not expecting it.
According to a source, it was a container for the ball (pictured) so his wife would have a remembrance. The inscription (backwards in the photo) says "Waterloo"
No there wasn’t … he even offered a million dollars to anyone he couldnt debunk … and after death left a secret password … which no-one ever “connected & collected”
People who make snide comments on the videos that come from India need to watch this. We were at a very similar stage once except our people were willing to sacrifice short term in strikes/demonstrations all came with no pay...all for the long term gains of our kids.
The third picture reminded me of my uncle, who was in WW II and was involved in the occupation of Italy after the war's end. He told me that he saw more than one kid who blew himself up playing with a hand grenade he found in the rubble.
The boys in the "News Mesenger "photo makes me sad for them .The look of being over worked and never play makes for hardened eyes their hearts and faces look like men who have seen and know too much .Over worked children . Very sad 😔
2:05...Its nice to be able to shoot around corners...but how can you see to aim. 6:10...Maybe he will learn how to be a gentleman & let his wife sit. 7:40... I prefer tha architecture of the older buildings. 🙏❤😊
And to think that in the US today, 2024, parents don't even want to vaccinate their children against smallpox. Humans throw away the most precious gifts given them.
First: "Lota Cheek" sounds like the name of a girl in a James Bond novel.🤣 Second: So, back in the olden days, did any adults work? Or was it only kids that had jobs?🤣
People think they have it tough here in the good old USA now? Just look at those children working back then! I know this happens in some countries now...but it shouldn't.
Those 2 guys just hanging out on top of a building…I couldn’t even look at that photo without passing out … One more thing that convinces me that I’m just fine sitting home watching Everybody Loves Raymond.🫣
Really appreciate that you remove banners after a few seconds to make the entire picture visable.
Those children look so old for their ages, it's heart breaking to see .
The children working with bare feet put a tear in my eyes. This still goes on in some places in the world to this day.
More countries than not.
THEN SOMETHING ABOUT IT. DONT JUST SHED A TEAR. HELP THEM.. I DO..

We don’t know how good we have it now in the USA. These photos were moving. Thanks for the reminder.
Seriously, you believe America is a great place. You need to take a closer look
Compared to some of the pictures here, definitely.
Remind Homo Erectus about this.
I don't have to worry about smallpox. That alone makes it okay to be alive now.

Absolutely marvellous. And a definite "Nope." to the nopes. Thank you, Mark.
Thank you for giving us time to really take-in the photos instead of rushing through them
The music compliments the presentation very well. Melancholic, nostalgic, haunting, lovely.
Many thanks!

It's the pictures of all the little kids working in such hazardous conditions in the factories that gets me.
I agree. Heartbreaking to see those little faces that should be out laughing in the sunshine

That is what we need now have you worked with the new generation they suck no work ethic at all more worried about a post
These are really excellent … you get as much a perspective on history than a book.

Hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for doing this mate. It gives me a meaningful reset to my level of gratitude
My pleasure …thank you for watching 👍🏻
I'm 70 and even though these are way before my time, they make my heart hurt with nostalgia. ❤
The picture is smallpox was quite awful.
And to think now people want to stop vaccinating against it
Should send to RFKJR

After the banners with the info, thank you for removing them, so we can see the whole photo. Really great stuff you find!❤😊
Thank you 🤗
It’s sad to think that all those people are long dead and gone. RIP 🌹
Great photos! The Argonaut Junior wasn’t the first successful submarine. The HL Hunley built in 1863 was.
The photos of all those children working is so sad.
Came for the pictures, stayed for the music 🎶.
Thank you 🎹🤗
The beard for the catssss ❤
Nice collection.
The Krumlauff curved-barrel rifle worked about as well as you'd expect a curved-barrel rifle to work.
Doctors should post rhat smallpox photo in their offices.
Younger people don’t remember when illnesses killed or incapacitated children/adults! Trust me I know. Get your vaccines.
Why? The US stopped vaccinating for smallpox in 1972.
@ So people can see what can happen if you skip vaccines!

Breaks my heart seeing all the child laborers and the boy who lost his fingers, heartbreaking.
If you have an Apple product, your the reason why child labor exists.
I thought that was a girl.
Plenty of people in the USA want to bring back child labor. There are already loopholes allowing some of it.

How horrible to see those children working in the factories even without shoes. The boy that lost his fingers really broke me
Loved the coal mine pic. My papaw said down in the mine we were all the same… black. That far down doesn’t care what color you are.
Too bad some people care above ground! No one picks what color/race they are.
They were all white .
Breaks my heart to see children working in factories!
Those poor children grew up to be the greatest generation of unity and giving. Youth today are not expected to work until they graduate college. Hardship and labor for survival built character and responsibility to society.
Best compilation yet!
Wow, thanks!
The ones who want to leave America, please do
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful.....jaw dropping.
Wow, thank you!
These pictures are very poignant. Very sad. Makes me more thankful for the 21st century technology and child labor laws.
Breathtaking thanks
I'm amazed, I haven't seen any of these pictures!
Me neither! 😊
Fascinating! Just stumbled upon this channel. What is the provenance for the photographs? Are they in public or private archives or a mixture?
I never realized that people were tarred and feathered right through to the WW1.
The sniper was caught because someone saw the tree didn't move in the breeze
...or maybe it did move, when a dog tried to pee on it.
German Americans were treated terribly during WW1. That doesn't get taught much in school.
People were tarred and feathered up until the 1940s during the wave of violent persecution against Jehovah’s Witnesses.
@queenbunnyfoofoo6112 Don't forget the awful treatment of Japanese/Americans during the WW2.
@@valsblueforrest2961 You're absolutely correct. FDR was as bad if not worse than Wilson.

Yes. Apparently, the Mohawks had no innate fear of heights.
Many of these are indeed Mohawk iron workers … one of my previous videos mentions that … they were absolutely fearless
Deeply poignant. The old farm house...the working children.....
Breathtaking is the wrong word. Breathtaking means so beautiful it leaves you in shock! Many of these photos are sad and horrible.
Breathtaking can also mean surprising, not just beautiful.
@@mimib8032 yes, but it always has a positive connotation. Example: The boy wanted a blue bike, but when he saw the motorcycle it took his breath away, for he was not expecting it.

So sad what young children went thru working such a young age. However with families so poor there wasn’t enough food without everyone working.
@@andreaparke4899 yes. A very sad reality. And still happening around the world.

Possibly the third photo and the photo at 5:26 are the saddest in this video.
6:30 makes me wonder if there was ever a spiritualist that Houdini couldn’t debunk!
No there wasn’t … he even offered a million dollars to anyone he couldnt debunk … and after death left a secret password … which no-one ever “connected & collected”
Yes there was - Mina Crandon. He put her through hell but failed to debunk her.
Where do you find all these pictures x
Oh, gosh, those babies working and climbing on that heavy machinery. Ugh. Heartbreaking.
What childhood? Disney myths.
Well i certainly have never seen these photos before
Ah, child labor, sweat shops, no safety regulations, tarring, feathering, rampant racism, infectious disease …. God but I miss it
