Insane Asylums and Orphan Trains: Is there a connection to the "little season"?

In this video we discuss the link between insane asylums, orphanages and the "orphan train" explosion of the 1800's. Why were all these magnificent "old world" buildings evident throughout the world in the 1800's "founded" to house orphans and the mentally insane? How did orphan trains come in to play during this time period? Who was behind the establishment of these institutions and what were their true purposes? Were the orphan asylums really used as facilities of shelter and refuge for children who had lost their parents? Were the lunatic asylums used to rehabilitate those who had "lost their minds"? Or were they both used for other less-charitable intentions? Let's see what we can discover as we explore these questions in this video.
