The Luddites were a secret oath-centred organisation of English textile workforces in the 19th century, a radical faction that destroyed textile machinery as a way of protesting.

EXPLANATION:

  • The Luddists protested against manufacturers who used machinery which the Luddists suspected was a "deceitful and fraudulent" manner to replace  traditional labour standards . Luddites believed that the time they had spent learning their craft skills would become wasteful because machines might replace their job roles in the industry.
  • Many Luddites were workshop owners who closed down because the same items could be sold by factories for cheaper price. Moreover, it was very difficult  for workshop owners,  to find jobs in factories since it took less workmen to manufacture things in factories than to manufacture the same thing in a workshop.
  • This left many people unemployed and angry. The word was used as opponents of industrialization, modernization, computerisation or emerging technology in general. The Luddite Revolution began at Nottingham in England, and resulted in the uprising that lasted from 1811 to 1816. Mill and factory owners shooted at protesters, and finally they suppressed it.
