What are Chimney-sweeper's?

Answer:

Chimney sweepers are mainly in charge of cleaning chimneys. They were most popular in the Industrial Revolution, and were treated poorly. Many chimney sweepers were children , resulting in many deaths. Children often died due to soot inhalation which caused respiratory problems, broken bones, and becoming stuck inside the chimneys. Children were often used because they could fit inside the chimneys to do a better job a cleaning, and their boss did not have to pay them much at all.
