What did luddites achieve?

The Luddites, a group of early 19th-century English textile workers, protested against the industrial revolution's impact on their livelihoods by destroying machinery they believed threatened their jobs. Although they did not achieve their immediate goal of halting mechanization, their movement raised awareness about the social and economic consequences of industrialization. Ultimately, their actions contributed to discussions about workers' rights and labor protections, influencing future labor movements. Their legacy highlights the tension between technological progress and its effects on society.


What is the political structure of the southern colonies?
