Lowell factory girls faced conditions that, while not slavery in the legal sense, bore similarities in their lack of autonomy and harsh labor environments. They worked long hours for low wages in often dangerous conditions, with strict oversight from factory management. Many were young women who had limited options for employment and faced societal pressures, making their economic dependence akin to servitude. Furthermore, the system exploited their labor while offering little in terms of rights or protections, reflecting a form of economic oppression.
Francis Cabot Lowell established several mills at Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1813, and founded the town of Lowell in 1826. Lowell needed workers for his expanding mills so he sent out agents to scour the country side of rural New England for "farmer's daughters." The girls were boarded in secure, company supervised lodging houses in Lowell and received $3 for 70 hours of work in the mills per week. It may seem like low wages and long hours, but at the time it was a reasonable wage for women and the girls from the rural areas were used to hard, physical labor on the family farms. The girls were also schooled, attended church, and given a variety of educational and cultural programs. They usually started as "Lowell's girls" at 16 or 17 years old and soon would have a dowry large enough to attract a suitable husband.
Northerners did not want the slaves to worry about unemployment like factory workers from the North.
slavery and the issues that it brougt
Maryland has the most slavery torture than any other eastern coast states in 1600s.
Slavery had been abolished in the British Empire since The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, and 13th Amendment to the constitution abolished slavery in the United States in 1864. Therefore in answer to your question, there was no slavery in 1870.

If slavery spread then they would have a better chance of keeping slavery in the united states. They wanted to keep slavery in the south because they did not have to pay their workers like the factory workers in the North did. "Free" labor.

There is still plenty of slavery. Look at people-traffickers, drug mules, girls sold into vice...

The Lowell girls, young women who worked in the textile mills in Lowell, Massachusetts, during the early 19th century, faced demanding working conditions that included long hours—typically around 12-14 hours a day—in noisy and often unsafe environments. Their living conditions were somewhat better than those of many working-class individuals at the time, as they resided in company-owned boarding houses that provided meals and supervision. However, these houses were often cramped, and the girls had little personal freedom, as strict rules governed their behavior. Despite the challenges, many Lowell girls enjoyed a degree of independence and financial autonomy not commonly available to women of their era.
The working conditions of Lowell mills were very poor.
No. It is nothing at all like slavery.
slavery is like your just being used by owners.
