 | | Through his political involvement, Lovett attempted to mold Chartism into a movement that promoted peaceful reform, a doctrine that came to be known as “moral force.” | | | Led by the working-class, Chartism was a political and social movement in Great Britain, which became influential in 1838 and lasted until 1848. | | | After 1848, Chartism continued to decline and was eventually removed from British politics by 1860 when the National Charter Association was dissolved. |

| | There can be no doubt that Holloway ended his days with the plaudits "Father of the Council" and "Father of the Liberal Party" but it is unclear whether Chartism became part of mainstream Kidderminster Liberalism. | | | After Charlton's departure from the movement he became the recognised leader of Kidderminster Chartism. | | | Dispite his split from Chartism efforts were made to encourage his to stay and his farewell was attended by several thousand people who were enthralled by a two hour "tour-de-force" which listed all the grievences that the working classes were subjected to. |

| | The movement, especially in the industrial Midlands and North, became the focal point for many of the other radical causes of the 1830s, such as the 10-hour factory movement, the fight against the new Poor Law and the battle to abolish the Corn Laws. | | | Chartism was growing rapidly, due largely to the influence of Irish radical politician Feargus O'Connor. | | | The year 1838 was spent carrying the message of Chartism out from London and Birmingham to all parts of the country. |

| | However, Carlyle's message was not primarily negative, for Chartism inaugurated a sanctification of Work that offered both dignity and justification to those who had previously recognised in their lives only the brutal marks of oppression and failure. | | | Less attention needed to be paid to the means of government, and more to the act of government. | | | At this point Mill reconsidered and decided to accept it, perhaps embarrassed, perhaps hoping to mark the end of his editorship of the London and Westminster Review on an emphatic note, but Carlyle, offended at his earlier timidity, had it published (by James Fraser) at his own expense. |

| | To what extent was ‘Inept Leadership’ responsible for the failure of Chartism? |
| | The question must always be asked whether the movement would have had greater impact, had its leaders acted, thought, or perhaps just been different. | | | It is doubtful that Lovett, with his policy of 'improvement', or any of the other leaders, could have generated these feelings that were vital in creating the success of the "state of mind" that was Chartism's prime achievement. | | | The split between O'Connor and William Lovett (not to mention anyone who could have challenged his leadership!) is famous. |

| | Chartism was a general rubric for a range of working-class protest movements in England from the 1830s to 1848, named for the People's Charter, which was published in May 1838. | | | However, the movement peaked in 1848 and dwindled in the relative prosperity of the following years. | | | Chartism was a very widespread popular reform movement which involved several massive petitions to Parliament (ranging from 1,280,000 to 3,000,000 signatures), all of which were rejected, to public riots. |

| | The Politics of Chartism |
| | With its political language and programme, Chartism had been democratic and inclusive: the working-class institutions of mid-Victorian England, by contrast, were concerned only to protect the vested interests of their paid-up members from whose ranks women and the unskilled were generally excluded. | | | The demise of Chartism, the end of democratic political protest, therefore marked a depressing turning-point in labour history. | | | At the branch level, the National Charter Association was the corner-stone of a democratic counter-culture of Chartist schools, chapels, cooperative stores, burial clubs and temperance societies. |
