Analyzing the problems of the different types of sources in relation to the radical and chartist movements of 1815-1848 [Change Title]
Introduction:
During the early to mid-1800s, each country had many positive and negative occurrences simply because the human race evolved, became more adaptable, and even developed systems of various sorts. Society itself had created its own entity. Over time, humans have developed languages in order to communicate with each other—they even went through continuous trials and errors in order to provide a more efficient way of living on this plant. The 1800s gave society a new reality; a formation in which led the world to a more sophisticated way of living. In Europe, there were many traditionalists. Many people wanted to remain in a more familial surrounding; however, there were also those whom were ready for progression.
Liberal vs Conservative Movement:
Society in Europe was all about the rich and royals. This economic and/or social status provided them to be seen as those whom could afford art, host lavish dinner events, and have exceptional fashion taste in fashion. The working class were seen more as peasants. Peasants were those whom were all doing things in a common fashion; hence, the term of commoners. Before society decided to separate into different social parties, everyone used to follow together under only one type of party. The traditionalists of the England wanted to keep society the way it was. This party was the Conservative party. This group aspired to leave the way everything as-is. Unfortunately, another party wanted to change that. This group was known as the liberalists. This social group wanted to give the country an opportunity to adapt. Liberalism is a “…political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others; but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty.” (http://www.britannica.com ).
Chartist Movement:
One reasoning for adaptation was to give all men the right to vote. The voting would take place with a secret ballot and allow Parliamentary votes for every year. Originally, Parliamentary votes would occur once every five years. Voters would also be allowed to vote for a certain party; in other words, constituency. This specific movement wasn’t finally official until around the 1850s. “Chartism was a working class movement, which emerged in 1836 and was most active between 1838 and 1848. The aim of the Chartists was to gain political rights and influence for the working classes. Chartism got its name from the formal petition, or People's Charter, that listed the six main aims of the movement.” (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk).
Radical Movement:
Slavery was happening during the late 1700s-1800s. It was a difficult time for African Americans to live in this century. It took a couple of decades until the Radical Movement took place. “Before 1830, to be a reformer meant principally to support parliamentary reform and other campaigns used different terms to define their objectives; Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts; Catholic Emancipation; the Abolition of slavery.(p. 85) The avoidance of ‘reform’ is explained by its association with the French Revolution and hence violence, fervour and excess: ‘The very word fell into disrepute’.(p. 13) While Burke acknowledged the need for reform, its English application would be pragmatic: concerned with adjustment rather than change, empiricism rather than speculation. Reform emerged as an alternative to revolution: as progress and improvement rather than dangerous innovation. These distinctive approaches were reflected within the parliamentary reform movement with the widespread adoption of the qualifiers ‘moderate’ and ‘radical’ (and the capitalization of ‘Reform’ and ‘Reformer’ to distinguish the latter) especially after 1810. By 1819, radical reform was identified with outside agitation among the popular classes who frequently depicted ‘reformers’ as hypocrites and backsliders. Paradoxically, their willingness to adopt the language of ‘radicalism’ freed up the term reform for moderates.” (www.history.ac.uk).
