Imagine an eight year old spindle boy working barefoot in a factory in the late 1800s. Scholars research the industrial period in American history in the 14th lesson of a 22-part series that explores the country's background. Groups investigate political cartoons, video clips, and primary sources to present their ideas on the mass influx of immigrants into the United States toward the end of the nineteenth century.
