The British

Here is a quote from http://ap_history_online.tripod.com/apeh10g.htm:

"The elite was wary of the social unrest that was caused by the economic downturn as a result of the Napoleonic Wars. In 1819, 60,000 people were in St. Peter's field demanding fundamental political changes, such as universal male suffrage and year-round parliament. Soldiers shot 11. This became known as the Peterloo massacre."

From the following quote, I realized that life in Great Britain was not all that pretty. Many were not treat fairly nor equally. As a result, there were many riots. Consequently, the British army had no choice but to eliminate any chance of an uprising.Therefore, people died in great numbers.
