The correct answer is that the Coal Mines act prohibited all the children under the age of ten from working underground in Coal Mines.

The Coal Mines Act of 1842  was passed by the United Kingdom Parliament. This act was an acknowledgement to the “Children's employment commission report of 1842” ( which described the horrific condition of the labors). the method of Coal extraction was outdated, hence the workforce including men, women and children, labored in hard conditions. Therefore the parliament of the United Kingdom banned the children under the age of ten, and also to women to go underground in the coal mines to work.

(APUSH) What compromises made the union, kept the union, and made the union fall apart?
rodikova [14]
<span>he Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed each territory to decide the issue of slavery on the basis of popular sovereignty. Kansas with slavery would violate the Missouri Compromise, which had kept the Union from falling apart for the last thirty-four years. The long-standing compromise would have to be repealed. Opposition was intense, but ultimately the bill passed in May of 1854. Territory north of the sacred 36°30' line was now open to popular sovereignty. The North was outraged.The political effects of Douglas' bill were enormous. Passage of the bill irrevocably split the Whig Party, one of the two major political parties in the country at the time. Every northern Whig had opposed the bill; almost every southern Whig voted for it. With the emotional issue of slavery involved, there was no way a common ground could be found. Most of the southern Whigs soon were swept into the Democratic Party. Northern Whigs reorganized themselves with other non-slavery interests to become the REPUBLICAN PARTY, the party of Abraham Lincoln. This left the Democratic Party as the sole remaining institution that crossed sectional lines. Animosity between the North and South was again on the rise. The North felt that if the Compromise of 1820 was ignored, the Compromise of 1850 could be ignored as well. Violations of the hated Fugitive Slave Law increased. Trouble was indeed back with a vengeance.</span>
