Orphan Trains | David Ewing Jr

What  are  orphan  trains? Between  1850  and  1930,  an  estimated  250 000  children  from  cities  in  America  and  Europe  were  sent  to  the  middle  and  the  west  of  the  North  American  continent  (the  Midwest)  by  train.  These  trains  are  known  as  the  Orphan  Trains  They  were  sent  by  train  to  so-called  FOSTER  homes  to  take  care  of  them.  Many  other  children  went  to  the  Midwest  by  other  means  of  transportation  including  boat  and  horse  travel.  Many  of  the  children  were  kidnapped  or  forced  away  from  their  mothers  and  fathers  from  cities  in  America  and  in  Europe  and  the  Middle  East.  Many  of  these  children  were  then  sold.  It  was  big  money.  Many  children  were  used  as  slaves  in  farms  and  factories.  Many  historians  try  to  show  this  slavery,  -  as  a  type  of  adoption.  But  it  was  slavery.  Historians  say  that  these  children  were  orphans.  It  is  estimated  that  millions  of  children  worldwide  were  orphans  (or  foundlings)  between  1850  and  1930.
