Did you know that kids ages 8 and up had to work at a factory? You might know that kids now days cant work till there at least 14-16. but you might not know that it was really dangerous for girls and boys to work at the weaving factory because thy would either get anywhere from there arms to legs cut off. This historical fiction you are about to read will give you a sneak peek about how life was in the 1800's.

__What is the historical setting of this story?__ I have set my story to be in the 1800's in Georgia, where some kids had to work in weaving factories to make money for their families. The working conditions in the factories were dangerous, but kids worked there to support their families.

__What is true in this story?__ kids working in the factory, that they got there arms and legs cut off. And that some kids were forced to work in the factory. Having to do chores after they go done working.

__What is fictional in this story?__ I think that the date of this story and where it takes place if factional. The name of of the main person in my story isn't real.

This story is about a girl named Margaret Stella, Who's dad passed away while fighting in the war. She is getting a job at a weaving factory to help her mom out with money around the house. And so her and her mom can travel places that her dad said they would go.
