What does the document "The Lowell Textile Workers" suggest about the revolution the country was undergoing during the 1st half of the 19th...

The Lowell workers and their subsequent plight is, simply
put, the precursor the labor movement/s later in American history. The "revolution" was
the one of immense industrialization that rested upon the sweat of its laborers. The
Lowell Women underwent and were victims of wage slavery. This would become a new found
manner of enslavement that would not just envelop the United States but all other
industrialized nations in the world. The inventions and products of the early nineteenth
century drove workers such as those at the Lowell factory to begin intimating about the
rudimentary forms of labor rebellion; strikes, etc. Eventually this, like the changing
politics of the day developed into social class warfare. More times than not, the events
of this era that are dominated by women are not given their due time in the history
text/s. This is certainly one of those topics. Do not under estimate the importance and
role of the Lowell Ladies to actually start the labor movement and middle class
empowerment of the in the United States.
