The use of the steam engine in the mills allowed the mills to move into the cities and towns from their previous locations along waterways because they no longer needed the water for power (Tuttle, 2001). Tuttle also connects that the increased work that could be done in the mills required more labor and factory owners had previously relied on orphans to do the work but now they are able to open up the work to more children. 
<span>Definition of Child Labor .</span><span>Throughout this report child labor will be focusing on labor outside the home; particularly that of child labor in cotton factories. Child labor did exist in other industries such as mining, and agriculture during the same time but the inclusion of these areas within this report would only increase the length and not the validity of this report. Many of the aspects discussed in this report were true in these other areas also. Children will be defined, as under the age of 16, despite this fact some of the report will involve workers over the age of 16.</span>

b.) The diverse geography of the colonies encouraged different economic pursuits.

The British colonies contained diverse geography from rocky coast line, forests, hot and humid areas, swamp lands, and good soiled farm land.

The diversity of geography created differing economies for the Thirteen Colonies. New England focused on shipbuilding, lumber, fishing, whaling, manufacturing, trade, and small farming. The Middle Colonies were best for farming for food production. These colonies established farms for what, rye, corn, vegetable, and animal farming. The Southern Colonies were the harshest of environments being hot and humid with swampy land. However, the geography proved perfect for tobacco, rice, sugar, and eventually cotton. The Southern Colonies focused on plantation farming of cash crops and would demand large amounts of labor. The need for labor would be filled by a system of slavery.
