In the U.S. in the 1830s you did NOT have universal male suffrage. The U.S. didn’t formally have universal male suffrage until 1868 but in practice most black men were barred from voting in southern states until the civil rights movement.

Note also that a vote for every "man" was originally "for every person", but it was under pressure from the middle class that they compromised on that, which led to decades of fighting for women's suffrage. The merchants and industrialists thought it was bad enough that every (working class) man should have a vote, but that women should also have the vote (and especially working class women) was a horrific concept for them.

thank you for a clear explanation of events, but i do think that the term working class should really be replaced by enslaved class. oh and how awful for those concerned about their property, and that was not all they were concerned about. some employers were paying their workers in tokens that could only be spent in the business owners store. no wealth could be accumulated by the slaves so freedom to choose did not exist. they did not want that to change! and then the outright inhumane attempt to destroy the chartists with use of the state resources. what an elite rabble have dominated the people of england and still do with their false promises and lies of trickledown economics

The cavalry charge was not actually performed by government troops (who were present but did not participate). Instead the yeomanry, a militia generally formed from land or factory owners, the massacre was caused by jittery local magistrates rather than being ordered by parliament.

Try to use the actual language that the Chartists used, otherwise the students won't recognise concepts in the sources or in text books. Example: point number 2 refers to "equal constituencies", a point that is debated up to the present day in UK politics. How do you ensure equal constituencies, i.e. do you have to redraw the maps/boundaries as populations shift in order to rebalance them every now and again? Also, small point, but "less" is for uncountable nouns, not countable nouns like "people". The word is "fewer".

Just one thing. The parties were called Whigs and Tories. They didn't become Liberals and Conservatives until the middle of the 19th century, when they reluctantly embraced the idea of popular elections (but still only one third of men had the vote after the Second Reform Act in 1867).

"People have some valid concerns" is a highly misleading way of representing this. The ruling classes in Britain were, of course, concerned. But you should frame it as "concerned that they might lose their method of maintaining and expanding their wealth." Very different (and far less important) than the concerns of the working class here. I'm all for avoiding presentism, but this is simply misleading and fearmongering.
@matthewmcintosh8314

Also framing the Sunday Observer as objective -- "their motive is to report the news" -- is similarly misleading. The Sunday Observer, like any paper, had biases, and likely was terrified of the Chartists. Please consider the way you represent these important historical events!
@matthewmcintosh8314
Жыл бұрын
and another one -- "they just want a government that doesn't ignore them, and that's what they end up getting" is a massive oversimplification. Like any social movement, the chartists contained numerous attitudes, some violent, some more reformist. secondly, it's hard to call these reforms the government "not ignoring" them -- sure, some were thrilled with them, but they were still meaningfully ignored. describing ignoring them as a binary (either they are or they are not being ignored) is also misleading and obfuscates the complexity of political movements.

Earl Minime is right, the Observer in these days was getting a government subsidy so the editor would be under pressure to compromise, however at the the same time the Observer was developing a Left Wing position since the Peterloo Massacre. From modern experience, the people on the ground modestly exaggerate the number of attendees based on people coming and going throughout the day, the police and newspapers massively underestimate the numbers to play down the size of support. Which would suggest a number between 50,000 and 300,000 is more likely. However, it would depend on whether these kinds of mass meetings had become commonplace in the era for the newspapers to develop a formal strategy of downplaying protester numbers.

It is not a given in the USA that electoral districts are equal sized because of the bicameral legislature. There are two Senators for each state, whether California or Texas or North Dakota or Rhode Island. The Senators from North Dakota or Wyoming represent less that one-fiftieth of the population as do those of California. We have our own "rotten boroughs" problem built right into the system. And just as the opponents of Chartism, its defenders cite tradition as the justification. Also, in reverse, a little over 40% of the population of the USA , mostly in the smaller states, can hold a majority of both houses. So, I say we need an American Chartist movement today to ensure that a majority of the population voting in elections should almost always be able to achieve a ruling majority to accomplish what the majority of voters want.

Great review. Just watched the series “Mill” on Prime. Interesting to se how difficult working conditions were and how they knew, in the early 19 th century…true universal suffrage would make poverty history. They sent Chartist leaders to Australia (as political prisoners). I can see now why Australia went straight to universal suffrage ( including women from 1902), after it’s Federation.. we had the children of all those Irish and English political convicts….. who believed in democracy and a fair days work for a fair days pay. 8hr work/8hr play/8hr sleep was an Australian founding value.
