| dc.description.abstract | Great Britain during the decade following the Napoleonic Wars seemed to be on the verge of revolution. Her social and political institutions had failed to catch up to the Industrial Revolution and the widespread discontent and unrest often threatened to break into open violence. Outdated institutions had become corrupt with the passing years, and vested interests controlled much of the government of England and Wales. Discontent was expressed in many ways—riots, agitation for the reform of Parliament, the League for the repeal of the Corn Laws, and the Chartist petition for constitutional change. | en_US |
