>>16460881>Orphans everywhere. Orphanages, orphan trains>>16460926>where did all the kids on those orphan trains come from?!According to glowniggerpedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_Train>Around 1830, the number of homeless children in large Eastern cities such as New York City exploded. In 1850, there were an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 homeless children in New York City. At the time, New York City's population was only 500,000. Some children were orphaned when their parents died in epidemics of typhoid, yellow fever or the flu. Others were abandoned due to poverty, illness, or addiction. Many children sold matches, rags, or newspapers to survive. For protection against street violence, they banded together and formed gangs.Many also came from Boston. I've wondered of this phenomenon was due to the cataclysm that caused the mudflood.
Here's a jootube vid some guy did about the mudflood in New York. I don't have time to watch it right now but maybe there's something in it.
