HISTORY: CHAPTER 6, PEASANTS AND FARMERS
 
 
1 Who was Captain Swing? And point out significance of the letters written to the farmers with the name of Captain Swing in the Agricultural History of England
 
1) Captain Swing was a mythic name used in the letters written to the farmers in the month of June-August 1830.
 
2. Farmers received threatening letters signed by Captain Swing urging them to stop using machines that deprived workmen of their livelihood. Alarmed landlords feared attacks by armed bands at night, and many destroyed their own machines
 
3. Government action was severe. Those suspected of rioting were rounded up.
 
2 Describe the features of the open field and common land existed in England till early 18 the Century. And state how was it helpful to the poor?

3 Trace the factors responsible for the outbreak of the Enclosure Movement in England.
 
1) When the price of wool went up in the world market in the sixteenth century, rich farmers wanted to expand wool production to earn profits. So they began dividing and enclosing common land and building hedges around their holdings to separate their property from that of others.
 
2) Unlike the sixteenth-century enclosures that promoted sheep farming, the land being enclosed in the late eighteenth century was for grain production because the English population expanded rapidly demanding for more food grains to feed the population.
 
3) Britain at this time was industrializing. More and more people began to live and work in urban areas. Men from rural areas migrated to towns in search of jobs. To survive they had to buy food grains in the market.
 
4) By the end of the eighteenth century, France was at war with England. This disrupted trade and the import of food grains from Europe.
 
5) Prices of food grains in England sky rocketed, encouraging landowners to enclose lands and enlarge the area under grain cultivation. Profits flowed in and landowners pressurized the Parliament to pass the Enclosure Acts.
 
Any five points

4 Examine the steps taken to meet with the increasing demand of food grains due to the increase in population.
 
1) The population increased rapidly, in 1868 England was producing about 80 per cent of the food it consumed. The rest was imported.
 
2) This increase in food-grain production was made possible not by any radical innovations in agricultural technology, but by bringing new lands under cultivation.
 
3) Landlords sliced up pasturelands, carved up open fields, cut up forest commons, took over marshes, and turned larger and larger areas into agricultural fields.
 
4) Enclosures were now seen as necessary to make long-term investments on land and plan crop rotations to improve the soil.
 
5) Enclosures also allowed the richer landowners to expand the land under their control and produce more for the market.

5 Examine the impact of the Enclosure of the Common land on the poor people of England.
 
1) When fences came up, the enclosed land became the exclusive property of one landowner.
 
2) The poor could no longer collect their firewood from the forests, or graze their cattle on the commons.
 
3) They could no longer collect apples and berries, or hunt small animals for meat. Nor could they gather the stalks that lay on the fields after the crops were cut. Everything belonged to the landlords; everything had a price which the poor could not afford to pay.
 
4) Deprived of their rights and driven off the land, they tramped in search of work. From the Midlands, they moved to the southern counties of England.
 
5) This was a region that was most intensively cultivated, and there was a great demand for agricultural laborers. But nowhere could the poor find secure jobs.
 
6 Briefly describe the effects of Napoleonic wars and introduction of threshing machine on the English agriculture. (Page. 123) OR
 
Describe the conditions that led to the Captain Swing riots in England after the Napoleonic wars. (Page.123)
 
7 Briefly explain the Westward expansion of White Settlement in USA and its impact on agriculture.
 
1) After the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783 and the formation of the United States of America, the white Americans began to move westward. The American Indians had to be cleared from the land.
 
2) American Indians retreated, the settlers poured in. They slashed and burnt forests, pulled out the stumps, cleared the land for cultivation, they cleared larger areas, and erected fences around the fields. They ploughed the land and sowed corn and wheat.
 
3) When the soil became impoverished and exhausted in one place, the migrants would move further west, to explore new lands and raise a new crop.
 
4) It was, however, only after the 1860s that settlers swept into the Great Plains across the River Mississippi. In subsequent decades this region became a major wheat-producing area of America.
 
8 Describe the advantages of the use of machines in agriculture in USA. (Page.127)
