CaitlinMemorial to the Newport Rising, a Chartist demonstration put down by troops in South Wales in 1839. The original monument was created in 1978 in Newport city centre, but demolished in 2013. This roughly-half-size replica was erected in Rogerstone, the village where the Chartists gathered the night before the Rising, in 2019. <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/cymru?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cymru</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/wales?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wales</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/newport?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#newport</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/chartists?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chartists</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/democracy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#democracy</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History June 16, 1836: The London Working Men's Association was formed, launching the Chartist movement. The Chartists took their name from the People's Charter, which demanded universal suffrage for men, regardless of social class. The movement appealed to skilled workers, not the masses of unskilled laborers. They followed the utopian socialism of Robert Owen. The movement lasted from 1838 to 1857. America’s first cop, Allan Pinkerton, creator of the Secret Service & persecutor of the Molly Maguires, was a radical participant in the Chartist movement before becoming the bulldog of capitalists. While the Chartism was primarily a constitutional movement, there was a radical, insurrectionary wing. Pinkerton was a part of this wing. He fought cops, destroyed property, set fires and had to flee the UK in order to avoid imprisonment.
