It then goes on to detail the formation and growth of the Anti-Corn-Law League, including the key figures involved and the strategies they used to gain support.The book also explores the wider social and political context in which the Anti-Corn-Law League operated, including the role of the press, the influence of religion, and the impact of other political movements such as Chartism.Overall, ""History Of The Anti-Corn-Law League V1"" provides a detailed and insightful account of an important period in British history, shedding light on the complex economic and political forces that shaped the country in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
