Abstract

This chapter outlines government concerns about the danger of insurrection in the early nineteenth century and fear of soldiers’ subversion and involvement on the side of radical revolution. It reviews the reality of these claims, analysing soldiers’ involvement in key events and incidents. These range through riots and protests in the 1790s, the distribution of radical handbills subverting troops, the Despard Conspiracy, Luddism, the Post War discontent of 1815-6, working-class drilling and the use of government spies, Peterloo, the Scottish revolt of 1820, the Cato Street Conspiracy, the Queen Caroline agitation, the Reform Crisis of 1831-2, and Chartism. The chapter concludes that whilst some threats were serious, British rank and file soldiers always obeyed officers and did their duty to Crown and country, so revolution was unlikely.
抗议与颠覆(1790-1850
这一章概述了19世纪初政府对叛乱危险的担忧,以及对士兵颠覆和参与激进革命的恐惧。它回顾了这些说法的真实性,分析了士兵参与的关键事件和事件。这些事件包括18世纪90年代的骚乱和抗议、散发颠覆军队的激进传单、德斯帕德阴谋、卢德主义、1815- 186年的战后不满、工人阶级的操练和政府间谍的使用、彼得卢、1820年的苏格兰起义、卡托街阴谋、卡罗琳女王骚乱、1831- 182年的改革危机和宪章运动。这一章的结论是,虽然有些威胁是严重的,但英国普通士兵总是服从军官,对王室和国家尽职尽责,所以革命不太可能发生。
