Rise of Luddites:
In the early 1800s the town of Nottinghamshire found itself at the epicenter of a technological revolution that would forever change the textile industry. Steam-powered mechanical frames had arrived, threatening to render the labor of skilled artisans obsolete.
Faced with the impending loss of their livelihoods, a group of indigent laborers banded together in secret societies, rallying under the banner of a fictional character named Ned Ludd—a figure reminiscent of Robin Hood but updated for the industrial age. These defiant individuals proudly donned the title of “Luddites.”
