Swing Riots
A farm worker (centre) explains to a clergyman how he has set fire to a hay-rick in protest at being evicted from both his farm and cottage, 1830. Protests, rioting and arson occurred across southern England in 1830 in response to unemployment and low wages among agricultural workers. The movement was known by the name of an imaginary leader Captain Swing, and the arsonists as Swing the rick burner. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
