Как жили дети в 19 веке

For thousands of years, families put their children to work on their farms or in whatever labor was necessary for survival - only children of the wealthy and powerful escaped this fate. Until the last one hundred years or so, children were considered by most societies to be the property of their parents. They had little protection from governments who viewed children as having no human or civil rights outside of their parents' wishes, and Great Expectations brings some of these conditions to light.
