Question

Trace the origin of boycott movement

Answer 1

Answer:

The word boycott entered the English language during the Irish "Land War" and derives from Captain Charles Boycott, the land agent of an absentee landlord, Lord Erne, who lived in Lough Mask House, near Ballinrobe in County Mayo, Ireland, who was subject to social ostracism organized by the Irish Land League in 1880

Boycott, collective and organized ostracism applied in labour, economic, political, or social relations to protest practices that are regarded as unfair. ... Boycotts were also used during the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s as a social and political tool.
