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. 410 0$aManchester scholarship online. 606 $aCato Street Conspiracy, 1820 610 $aBlack History. 610 $aInformers. 610 $aInsurrection. 610 $aIreland. 610 $aLondon. 610 $aPeterloo. 610 $aRadicalism. 610 $aRevolution. 610 $aSlavery. 615 0$aCato Street Conspiracy, 1820. 676 $a345.420231 702 $aMcElligott$b Jason$f1972- 702 $aConboy$b Martin 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793818603321 996 $aThe Cato Street conspiracy$93765727 997 $aUNINA
