Consequences of the Industrial revolution 8
The 1 Industrial Revolution:
Great Britain 1780-1900
The Luddite movement
During the industrial revolution machines took over (sostituirono) people in some jobs, especially in the textile industry. People called Luddites, from the name of their leader Ned Ludd, smashed machines, claiming that these has robbed them their job. In 1811, bands of masked workers attacked factories in Nottingham. The Government replied with severe repressive measures. A mass trial at York sentences many Luddites to hanging.
