Question

Why where was the poor farmer of england against the threshing machine what was the captain swing moment?

Answer 1

The industrialization and modernisation brought in the use of many threshers which rendered people unemployed.
The unemployed poor roamed the streets in search of work and this lead to lower standards of living.
Therefore a group of angry peasants rioted and threatened landlords to abolish the machine and give employment.
These threatening letters came under the name of captain swing.
