What was the name given to the 1830 uprising of farm workers in southern England?

They were called the Swing riots after the eponymous Captain Swing. The made-up name symbolised or represented the anger of the poor labourers in rural England who wanted a return to the pre-machine days when human labour was used

why called 'swing' riots?

The inspired Indian farmers were protesting violently with swords and tractors killed and injured many people, yesterday they withdraw their protest due to repealed three farm laws.

luckycatfay, thanks! I was wondering how it got its name - sounds plausible!

VividPotion6704, I have not heard them called this either but maybe because they used to swing scythes.

would love to know why they were called Swing riots? Haven't heard of this before
