Why did many factories hire children rather than men

I think it was because Children would listen better, and would have no control over what they were doing int he factory, while men may have put up a fight, and would refuse to listen. Also Children were more easily bribed, and brainwashed than adults

question - in the 1900s there were two competing views about the environment that often pitted industrialist and conservationist against one another. how were these two competing views demonstrated by the environmental policies of president roosevelt and president taft?

hope this : )
