Harry Potter Morning Light

One day in June 1848, when Thomas Cooper's wife opened the door of the Sheffield house, there were a lot of people sitting in front of it.

These men came from Ireland, starving faces, leading the procession in military caps and red coats, and they had heard that the secretary of the Veterans, Exiles, Orphans and Widows Foundation Committee lived in the Here, most of the people stayed at the door of the shop, accepting the alms from the shopkeepers, while the leader entered Cooper's house.

He brought the news that the violent wing of Chartism had entered into an alliance with the Irish Cancellations, and that the Irish Cancellations had held a mass meeting at the Abbey Hall in Dublin, flying the Irish tricolor, and a gigantic, blazing knife, and O'Connor attended a pro-Charter rally in Dublin on Easter Monday.

In 1845, O'Connor attempted to join forces with Thomas Cooper to promote the land movement. The land enclosure movement, which once had a profound influence in the UK, has come to an end at this time, and land can be purchased at a relatively cheap price. If each member can pay a donation of two pounds and ten shillings, they can raise 5,000 pounds. The sum was enough to buy the land and build houses for fifty members.

Then mortgage this piece of land to get 4,000 pounds, plus the balance of the original funds, you can buy another real estate and resettle fifty members, and so on, until the eighth real estate is purchased, you can resettle 400 members. members. The value of these properties could more than double in three years, and be worth at least 60,000 pounds in the fourth year. However, Earl Thomas Cu's O'Connor's plan could not be feasible, so he refused to cooperate with him.

Since O'Connor had gone to Ireland, Cooper found only one of O'Connor's many eyes and ears. In his place, Cooper heard an unexpected news that there was a traitor among the Chartists, and this traitor was Thomas Cooper.

The carpenters' union in Manchester said he was a jackal in sheep's clothing, already in league with Peel, some said he was trying to get a job in the government, others said he was an adventurer, a pursuit of fame, and a capricious villain , a hypocrite who pretends to be serious.

In the end, Cooper really resigned. He was not in a hurry, but he saw O'Connor's fantasy, and he would inevitably ruin the Chartist movement.

The house is bound to too many things, especially the right to vote. Those workers who have real estate because of guaranteed housing also have the right to vote. Despite the existence of the representative system, even if the overwhelming majority of people outside the parliament supported the election of the Chartists, the MPs who sat in the parliament and voted still let the representatives they supported lose the election.

But this time the situation is a bit different, because King Philip of France has fled to England, which put almost all European countries on the brink of revolution, and even Ireland received a congratulatory message from the French Republic.

Women almost appeared in the role of family helpers in the Chartist movement. After Cooper resigned, so many refugees could not always rely on shops for giving, not to mention that according to the provisions of the Poor Law, private giving is illegal.

The old Poor Laws implemented family allowances and child allowances, which contributed to the growth of the English population, which, according to Malthusian theory of population, was the cause of poverty, which was accepted by the British government, and the Poor Laws were subsequently amended in 1834 .

At that time, the British generally believed that the poor were poor because of their laziness and moral corruption. Therefore, what the government should do is not to improve the living conditions of the poor, but to force them to return to the job market by lowering the living standards of the poorhouse.

If there were private relief, it would not only make these public workhouses seem unjust, but according to Malthus, the relief would encourage people to reproduce more, produce more poor people, and thus occupy more resources of calm and hardworking people, The purpose of the amendment was to reduce the number of surplus population as much as possible, and Sir Henry Mayne also pointed out that the poor were not fit to survive in accordance with the theory of social Darwin.

At this time, a descendant of a noble family who has not yet been knighted appeared in Sheffield. He was originally a swinger, mixed with a group of idle rich children, and did some evil deeds to tarnish the reputation of human beings, but this famous boy fits the bill. In the image of aristocrats, there is a reserved demeanor in the dignified appearance. He said to Cooper, Working brothers, you are the real nobles based on the characteristics of your labor. Today I have made my choice, and I am willing to share weal and woe with you.

Then he brought a large amount of money orders and food and gave Cooper two horses, saying May God forgive me, when I think that the food that fattened these horses could have been used to feed what I saw. When I was a starving baby in my mother's arms, I pleaded guilty to God.

It seems that this descendant of a famous family is so generous because he does not want his soul to fall into hell.

Then the famous boy told Cooper that the government was planting spies and traitors, and they were responsible for recording the names and addresses of every leader, and then handed over this list to the sharpshooters in the army, asking them to point their guns at every designated leader. people.

There are veterans among the refugees, they are willing to protect the safety of Cooper and his family, but Cooper warns them not to be fooled, because their purpose is to turn the Chartist movement into a violent and bloody movement, and take this opportunity to wipe them out. The violence of the oppressor can only be resisted with moral force.

Instead, Ireland repealed the Habeas Corpus Act, allowing a large number of listed individuals to be arrested at will, and O'Connor called off the parade.

The rumors of the assassination were well-known, and there was a failed investor who planned a series of conspiracies because the Chartist movement had lost a lot of money.

And some leaders really died in London, not because of assassination, but because of cholera. In 1848, 127 people died in three days in Soho.

How did their family end up in London? asked Pomona.

Of course someone arranged for them to go, Severus said over a small pumpkin pie. What's your image of Isabella Sidney?

Pomona recalled.

Once the Gryffindor girl gang and the Slytherin girl gang bumped into each other in the corridor, and the Slytherin girl leader smiled and then gave way to Emily Taylor. If it was Bella If it is, I will definitely not let it go.

Who organized the Dungeon Ball? Pomona asked.

I'd prefer another name, he said quietly.

And what's that Isabella about? Pomona asked, eating a pumpkin pie too.

His father was a Muggle and his mother was a witch, but she didn't come to Hogwarts for classes. He chewed without any aristocratic image and said, She hired a governess so that it would not delay her studying at the girls' school. , without delaying her control of power.

Pomona raised an eyebrow and took a bite of the pie.

Thomas' eldest son wanted to take this opportunity to enter the political arena, but was stopped by Thomas, who took all his luggage and left the house. Severus said, You really think that everyone is in the name of bravery, In the name of justice and in the name of God?

Ask me? Pomona asked.

No, I'm talking about the last words Thomas' son said to him, they have a house with poor soundproofing, Severus said. He is an upright man and has a lot of brains. Unfortunately, he is not a 'vicious dog' as some people call him.

Pomona flashed back to the Ben Cooper who lacked confidence and almost dropped out.

What did that kid go through and how he was tortured like this, Pomona said, swallowing the last bite of the pumpkin pie.

What kind of clothes did you use the fabric Molly mentioned? Severus asked suddenly.

Ahem, why are you asking this? Pomona swallowed the pie.

The dress for the prom? He didn't know whether he was pretending or really asked ignorantly.

No, said Pomona dryly.

What fabric?

I think it's time to talk to the horses so that they don't really make drastic choices. Pomona said, turning around and leaving.

What 'grown-up' thing do you want to do instead of going to the prom? he called out behind her.

She started running and left the library in a hurry.

The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, privately helping the poor is punishable, although it is not strictly enforced.

The poor laws were repealed when Tom Riddle was born
