Sure it's pretty crappy work for us lucky ones that live in a developed country, but this country was built on the backs of people that endured those types of conditions.

I think the difference is that the modern day sweatshop labour isn't being done for the benefit of their own country and people.
NA industrial revolution set up companies and industries in NA for NA people. The sweatshops only use the labour from those countries without setting up any long term economical gains for the locals.
Are sweatshops actually gonna help a 3rd world country in the long term?
