They were within 60 minutes of setting out to assassinate the British cabinet. Five of the conspirators were subsequently executed and another five were transported for life to Australia. The plotters were a mixture of English, Scottish and Irish tradesmen, and one was a black Jamaican. They were motivated by a desire to avenge the `Peterloo' massacre and intended to declare a republic, which they believed would encourage popular risings in London and across Britain. This volume of essays uses contemporary reports by Home Office spies and informers to assess the seriousness of the conspiracy. This book explains the conspiracy, and why you have never heard of it.Manchester scholarship online.Cato Street Conspiracy, 1820Black History.Informers.Insurrection.Ireland.London.Peterloo.Radicalism.Revolution.Slavery.Cato Street Conspiracy, 1820.345.420231McElligott Jason1972-Conboy MartinStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910827374903321The Cato Street conspiracy4096879UNINA
