Around1816 the childrens of age 5 would be employed to work in a factory .While working the smallest child in the factories would have to go under the machine while its running.Children had to work from 5 in the morning until 8 at night. The kids had to act like they werent tired because if they did their supervisor would hit them so they can stay awake. These kids only had 1 time of the day 45 min break.

Nationalism

To me nationalism is when someone has respect for their country.Nationalism is when someone has love for their country and is willing to sacrifice for their county. A couple of things people do for their nationalism is they will stand up and pledge to the flag, with their hand in their heart. I dont do nothing for my nationalism. Now and days you see people having respect for their flags or country.

Geography of Latin American Revolutions

I think that there is a connection between the revolution because it all started with the american revolution then the french revolution came along. These two revolution fought for the same reason because they both wanted to do the same thing. All of these revolution had something in common because all they wanted was independence and over the power o f their goverment.
