A young white child slave, Chimney Sweeper

During the early to late 1800s, white slaves ages 4-7 would be made to sweep chimneys. Many of them died from suffocation, chimneys collapsing while they were inside, being burning burnt alive by fires. They would be forced to do the work kind of work and be beaten if they refused. You can learn more about this by studying the Industrial Revolution Era of the United States. Little boys were sold by perish workhouses or had been kidnapped or sold by parents to Master of Sweeps. “Little Boys for Flues” was a popular slogan. A flue as in a chimney flue.
