After the French Revolution of the late 18th century and the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, many Europeans were inspired to encourage revolutions in the hope of greater freedoms and/or protection. Some hoped that the freedoms granted during the French Revolution could expand into something broader and beneficial to all. Others wanted restrictions so that the abuses of the Industrial Revolution would end and protect those who desperately needed protection. The lower and working classes, after the French and Industrial Revolutions, wanted conflicts between classes to be clarified for everyone. The French and Industrial Revolutions encouraged numerous people of different groups, wealth, classes, jobs, etc. to push themselves towards the goals and freedoms they thought they were entitled to; while some received what they wanted and were happy, others did not and resented further revolutions. England seemed to be an exception to all the violence and destruction that France needed to implement reforms by passing acts and laws peacefully, to the benefit of large numbers of protesting people. Generous elements such as wealth, power, and unjust treatment helped create what is known as the “age of revolutions.” First, in both England and France, many were upset by class disputes. Arthur Young, being a British traveler to France who saw the hardships first hand without prejudice, said: "The abuses connected with the collection of taxes... a cruel aggravation of their misery, seeing those who could best afford to pay, exempted... more than 300 were reduced to begging (Doc 1).” Young agrees that those who could afford to pay "The rolls of taille, capitation, vingtiemes and other taxes" did not and the peasants who could barely... middle of paper...wanted resulted in the changes this reform brought about. The Whigs made this reform because the people wanted a change in government and this is what they achieved because it “increased the electorate… provided representation to the industrial towns.” Parliament eventually repealed the Corn Law in 1846 after the formation of the Anti-Corn Law League. Subsequently, the Tories and Whigs passed the Ten Hours Act which limited the factory working day for women and youth to ten hours a day. England successfully made changes with little need for violence.People who called for change during the Age of Revolutions wanted liberalism and nationality.Some countries, such as France, resorted to violence to achieve this, while England did so with little violence. People will continue to seek freedom and equality and will do so with emotion developed and emphasized through Romanticism.
