The Peterloo Massacre By: Aneesh Gowri Period 3 Kinberg

A Little Background  Habeas Corpus – stated that if the culprit’s detention cannot be legally justified, they must be released immediately. Adopted in Britain in 1679 All about the Habeas Corpus: s s  Corn Laws – British grain tariffs which raised the price of bread. This benefitted the gentry, but economically strained the middle and lower classes More on the Corn Laws: e.htm e.htm

A Little Background  Date: August 9th, 1819  However, the government protested, claiming that the gathering was illegal, so the protestors postponed it to the 16 th.

A Little Background  Location: St. Peter’s Field, Manchester, England

Who was there?  60,000 to 80,000 middle to lower class men, women, and children gathered at St. Peter’s Field to peacefully protest for universal suffrage, equal representation in parliament, and reform  Size of the Crowd at Peterloo Size of the Crowd at Peterloo

Reform What?  Well, the British people could not keep calm, Habeas Corpus had been suspended for the first time ever in 1817!

Reform What? Only 3% of the population could vote (about 214,000 men) Most men and no women could not vote or hold seats in parliament

What Happened?  The Manchester Magistrates called the Yeomanry Cavalry to stop the protesting citizens  The Cavalry rode in, killing twelve and injuring seven hundred Deaths at Peterloo Interesting Link to Memorial Page

Reactions  The people were upset. Hundreds of their own were killed or injured simply for peacefully protesting Richard Carlile's Reaction John Tyas' Reaction Percy Shelley's Poem: The Mask of Anarchy

Reactions  But the government tried to justify their actions  They claimed that the magistrates were forced to act in the way that they did Lord Liverpool's Reaction Lord Sidmouth's Reaction

Why Should We Care?  Reform Bill of 1832: 800,000 men could vote. Parliamentary seats were more equally distributed (Big cities like Manchester were allowed more representatives than small towns). Also a national standard of currency was put in place Reactions to the Refrom Bill  The Corn Laws were repealed!  Made way for Chartism!
