The Mill

As a descendant of Cotton mill workers from south carolina, i can tell you that the potrayal of the hard life these people endured are very spot on. I had an aunt who went to school and the teacher paddled her hand, she told her mom she was not going back to that school, so she got a job in the mill at the ripe old age of 9. I heard stories of the bell that would be rung each morning to wake the workers to go to there daily jobs at the Vaucluse Mill in South carolina, this is a great show.
