A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
This issue of Inside History could have been a lot larger. Perhaps the
theme of Protest, Revolt & Reform was too ambitious to be
condensed into a single magazine. For this reason, this issue begins
with the events at Peterloo in 1819 and its attempts to create a fairer
society and a increased suffrage to the working masses. What
happened that day at Peterloo evoked many to want change and yet,
those who held onto the structures of power would fail to listen fully.
Two-hundred years later things have certainly improved and yet we
find ourselves still prepared to take to the streets in order to protest
to make a fairer society. It is this conflict between the masses and
those in power that is running theme throughout this issue.
From those wishing to make their voices heard at the ballot box, those
who wanted to end the concept of slavery and those who fought for
the rights of workers welfare and pay, this issue has it all covered.
We also look at the methods of protest. From violence, to poetry and
music, and using your influence in order to speak on behalf of the
oppressed. All methods may be questioned in terms of their
effectiveness yet all played their part in helping to change things.
There is, of course, a lot more that could have been added. This
reminds us that the history of protest is a complicated one. A history
that effects us all, and more importantly, a history that is too
important to ignore. Our right to protest currently finds itself under
threat. I hope that this issue reminds us all of its importance and why
we have to hold it so dearly to our hearts. Two hundred years ago,
those at St Peter’s Field wanted a say in how their country was
governed...lets make sure that we never forget them.
