在北美殖民地建立的过程中，大量清教徒在移居殖民地的同时，也把其本土的价值观带到了这里。在清教观念中，劳动是上帝应许的唯一生存方式，是获得救赎的手段，是最好的生存方式，所有的人（包括儿童）都必须参加劳动，如果儿童不参加劳动就会养成懒惰的习惯，从而走向堕落。清教这种关于劳动一特别是儿童劳动的观念，为当时生产部门使用童工提供了理论依据。

During the process of establishing North America, many Puritans settled in the colony and brought their value with them at the same time. In their view, labor was the only means that God permit to survive, and also the method of salvation and the optimal existing way. Everyone including children should take part in the labor. If children didn＇t work, he would develop a habit of laziness and even degenerate. The labor viewpoint of Puritanism, especially the idea that child must attend labor, provided a theoretical basis for the use of child labor by production sectors at that time.
