The Corn Laws were tariffs and restrictions on imported food and grain ("corn") enforced in Great Britain between 1815 and 1846. They were designed to keep grain prices high to favour domestic producers, and represented British mercantilism, since they were the only mercantilist laws of the country
The Corn Laws were finally repealed in 1846. It was a triumph for the The Anti-Corn Law League, founded in Manchester in 1839
