Inconvenient Facts about Black and White Slavery<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skeletal Remains Of 150 English Children Starved and Worked To Death In Factories Show No Evidence Of White Privilege.<\/h2>\n

Scientists have uncovered the first direct, grisly evidence of the harrowing lives of British children known as pauper apprentices\u00a0who were forced into labour during industrialization in England<\/a>:<\/h2>\n

\u2018Lead author Rebecca Gowland, a professor in the Department of Archaeology, Durham University, said: \u2018This is the first bio-archaeological\u00a0evidence for pauper apprentices\u00a0in the past. It explicitly highlights\u00a0the toll placed on their developing bodies.<\/h2>\n

\u2018To see direct evidence,\u00a0written in the bones, of the hardships these children had faced was very moving. It was important to the scientists and the local community that these findings could\u00a0provide a testimony of their short lives.\u2019<\/h2>\n

While the use of children as a cheap source of labor during industrialization in 18th and 19th century England is well-documented,\u00a0there is little direct evidence of their struggles.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

For the study, the experts performed a chemical analysis of the teeth remains. They were able to identify the sex of the children as well as determine that\u00a0they were not local to the area and were probably from London.<\/h2>\n

Examination of the\u00a0bones and teeth also highlighted the conditions\u00a0that affected the children, including\u00a0tuberculosis, respiratory disease, rickets and delayed growth.<\/h2>\n

Professor Michelle Alexander, from the Department of Archaeology at the University of York, a senior author of the study, said: \u2018We undertook chemical analysis of the bones to\u00a0study diet and found that the apprentices had a lack of animal protein in the diet compared to the locals, more on a level with the victims of the Great Irish Famine.\u2019<\/h2>\n

The remains have since been reburied in a ceremony that involved contributions from the local community.<\/h2>\n

\u2018They (the children of Victorian England) were overlooked in life and treated as a commodity. We hope we have done them some justice by telling their stories and creating a lasting commemoration.\u2019<\/h2>\n

If these remains were of black or indigenous children, we\u2019d never hear the end of the worldwide outrage. Demands that some sort of reparations be paid to their fellow minorities.<\/h2>\n
