The
Protest Movements
Protest
movements developed during the nineteenth century
as the middle classes, and the working classes, became
more educated. With this education came a desire to
have more say in the way that their lives were run.
This, inevitably, would lead to a conflict with the
ruling, wealthy, classes.
As
the century wore on a number of different groups emerged,
each had their own distinct complaint to make. Some
complained peacefully, others used violence, sabotage
and threats to try and force change. The level of
success of each of these movements, either individually
or collectively, is debatable. This unit examines
the protests of a number of groups and allows you
to develop an understanding of the reasons for, and
the consequences of, each protest.
