Nathan Brindamour (Robert Owen)
I was a poor Welsh boy looking to be a successful guy. I was determined to find a means of production. A time passed when there was simply no difference between the rich and the poor. This was an opening for to set up a model community in New Lanark, Scotland to put my ideas into practice. I went days and nights trying to come up with the perfect solution to easy, cheap production. Many times child labor was a thought but i quickly came to realize i must stay away from that. There must not be any child labor harming innocent children and their families. I later realized i was up against others, also trying to find a means of production. This meant I had to vigorously campaign for the laws that limited child labor, and encouraged the organization of labor unions. Soon my petitions fell through and I was forced to go on missions to North America to seek ideas of Industrializing Europe. This would lead on to the great rise in the Industrial Revolution.
