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>

ss7ja [257]
1829, having been passed by the supreme court, under the leadership of John Marshall who was a VERY big government man, in 1924.

However, the side he came down on in the Maysville Road veto was that the Maysville Road was totally local and therefore federal funds should not be used for local issues. Then again, he may have opposed the bill simply because Henry Clay supported it and those men hated each other.

So perhaps by his veto of the Maysville Road bill, he was saying he did not agree with Gibbons v Ogden but like I said, to my knowledge, there is no record on how he felt about it (but I am sure he had an opinion because the man had opinions about EVERYTHING
