In the 1700s, James Watt caused a revolution in transportation<em> by improving steam engine technology.</em>
He was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. He made improvements on Thomas Newcomen's steam engine that was patented in 1698 and widely in use at the time of Watt's birth ( 1736).
It all started when Watt was given a model Newcomen engine to repair. He realized it was very inefficient and he began to find ways to improve its performance. He designed a separating condensing chamber for the engine to avoid huge losses of steam. He patented his improvements in 1769.
A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power -<em> the watt</em> - is named in his honor.
Answer: B. They earned more money than their parents
Explanation:
Child Laborers in the United States was a very widespread practice in the 1800s and early 1900s. These children suffered all manner of abuse and were made to do work that even adults should not do sometimes.
As a result they missed out on school and worked in jobs so dangerous that they risked injury or even death. Some might have made more than their parents if their parents had no job but the money that these children made contributed to the welfare of their family so this was not a negative consequence of child labor.
