Chartist Meeting |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Chartism was one of the major popular reform movements of the Victorian era. The Chartists sponsored a People’s Charter demanding suffrage for all male citizens over age 21, a secret ballot, and other rights. Chartist leaders are shown here addressing a large crowd in 1848. Most of their demands eventually became law. | ||||||
