THERE HAD BEEN OTHER ATTACKS ON SHOPS WHEREIN THE
MECHANICAL FRAMES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again
to complete the activity, however Hollingsworth and his guys have been ready. A younger guy, John
Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region. The employees’ as soon as moderately

shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again
to complete the activity, however Hollingsworth and his guys have been ready. A younger guy, John
Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of

Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in

Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that

rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as

frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again

Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and

Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again

Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were

changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again
to complete the activity, however Hollingsworth and his guys have been ready. A younger guy, John
Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for

making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again
to complete the activity, however Hollingsworth and his guys have been ready. A younger guy, John
Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as

And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
The feelings generated might be hard to contain. Within months the uprising had unfold to Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again
to complete the activity, however Hollingsworth and his guys have been ready. A younger guy, John
Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:

and Lancashire, and the stakes were raised with raids on factories, burglaries, and arson. However the
government had established a reaction as properly, and it become equally determined to forestall the
violence and stamp out the revolt with a resolute ferocity. It turned into in Yorkshire that the raids
seemed maximum prepared. One specifically, towards the hated William Cartwright, is broadly recalled.
Cartwright turned into a distinguished mill owner in Yorkshire, a success however no longer properly
cherished. One in all the new breed of mill proprietor, his manufacturing facility at Rawfolds housed fifty
shearing frames running easily and with no end in sight the usage of water electricity from the close by
stream. The raid was led by means of George Mellor, a cropper (a finisher of wool), however no longer
simply weavers were worried. Most of the guys had been blacksmiths and different employees who
understood what the machines had in shop for them. The machines could, for one thing, cast off any
illusion of manipulate they had over their lives. The raid was well organized, however Cartwright
become prepared that night. He changed into waiting with 4 workmen and five men from a nearby
militia. When the Luddites broke home windows and started out firing into the building, his guys fired
back. The raiders tried to batter down the strengthened door, however they failed, and Cartwright
commenced ringing a bell to alert navy reinforcements stationed nearby. The firing persevered, and 3 of
the raiders have been wounded, badly. Because the troops arrived and the Luddites retreated, Mellor
himself instructed the wounded — with tears in his eyes, stated observers — that they must be left in
the back of however have to in no way reveal the names in their comrades. Cartwright discovered the
wounded guys and interrogated them earlier than getting medical help, until he sensed the growing
anger from bystanders. After minimal care and greater interrogation, the guys died with out revealing
names.
The much less critically wounded, who were helped from the scene by means of their comrades, were
cared for outside the district or in secret till they were healed, a signal of the good sized sympathy and
help the revolt had in the district. Two others seemingly died later and had been buried in secret by way
of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë, who would later write in Shirley: “sure
innovations in equipment had been brought into the staple manufacturers of the north, which,
substantially reducing the wide variety of hands vital to be hired, threw heaps out of work, and left them
with out valid method of sustaining existence. A bad harvest supervened. Distress reached its climax,
staying power, over-goaded, stretched the hand of fraternity to sedition; the throes of a sort of moral
earthquake have been felt heaving beneath the hills of the northern counties.”
Sale denies that Brontë had Luddite sympathies, however it's far mysterious that all of us without them
could write, as she does next: “misery generates hate: these sufferers hated the machines which they
believed took their bread from them; they hated the buildings which contained those machines; they
hated the manufacturers who owned the ones buildings.” Inside the early months of 1812, inside the
Midland triangle of Luddite interest, there was a new feel of unease. The body-breaking persisted, and
fear of becoming entangled in the ongoing violence saved those who had been no longer concerned at
domestic at the back of closed doorways and shuttered home windows. Now the assaults have been
brazenly described as an rebellion. Troops have been dispatched, among three and four thousand of
them. More common arrests had been made, rewards were provided, spies have been paid,
townspeople had been interviewed and reinterviewed by magistrates, and with the aid of February a
invoice were brought calling for the death penalty for the ones destroying or injuring frames. In March,
the invoice was surpassed, and machine-breaking have become a capital crime. Within the years the
frame breakers have been active, the damage they inflicted amounted to more than £100,000, an
quantity that manufacturing facility proprietors and government officials taken into consideration a
serious chance to the financial order of the geographical region.
The employees’ as soon as moderately relaxed lives regarded a vanishing dream without opportunity of
being recreated short of drastic movement. It's miles hard now to recognise what occurred on those
dark nights, inside the huddled clandestine conferences within the hollows or the woods, but it's far
known that the first “body-breaking” passed off inside the village of Burwell, not a long way from
Nottingham. A band of guys with blackened faces, assigned numbers as opposed to names, mustered,
shouldered their guns, and activate for the weaving shop of a man named Hollingsworth. They broke in
and destroyed a half dozen of what were probably lace-making machines. A few nights later they again
to complete the activity, however Hollingsworth and his guys have been ready. A younger guy, John
Westley, turned into shot and killed seeking to get in thru a shutter, and — incensed that their
“justifiable” violence might be met with “unjustifiable” violence — the people broke into the factory and
residence and, after destroying furnishings (the family and workers had slipped out the lower back), set
the buildings alight. As out of control as these assaults seem, it's miles crucial to notice that they were
not absolutely random. When frames started out to be smashed, a completely selective technique
became hired, says Thompson. The Luddites destroyed simplest people who produced inferior goods.
Those on which stockings had been well made had been left intact.
Inside the weeks that accompanied, there had been other attacks on shops wherein the mechanical
frames have been installed — as well as attacks on frames that were being transported out of the
district for secure storage. Some days later, one thousand armed men marched into Sutton and broke
among thirty and seventy frames. The factory proprietors felt besieged. The local magistrates called for
assist in restoring order from a militia unit quartered nearby. However sympathy for the weavers
changed into growing. Whilst Westley’s frame become carried via the metropolis of Arnold later that
same week, it was observed with the aid of a crowd of nearly 1000 defiant guys, says Sale. The notorious
rebellion Act became then study, threatening the arrest of all people who did now not disperse at as
soon as. It changed into too late to calm this crowd. They dispersed, but handiest to regroup. Anger and
frustration now ran deep in the population, and justifications in the form of nameless letters and flyers
making the Luddite case commenced to seem within the newspapers or nailed to boards. Perhaps it
became now, at this intense second, with supporters round them, that this Luddite music became
composed and sung:
And night time by using night whilst all remains And the moon is concealed at the back of the hill, We
ahead march to do our will With hatchet, pike and gun! O, the cropper lads for me, The gallant lads for
me, Who with lusty stroke The shear frames broke, The cropper lads for me!
