What we know
The Luddites were a movement of skilled textile workers in England who rebelled against industrial machinery between 1811 and 1816. Having spent years mastering their crafts, they watched machines produce textiles faster and more cheaply, threatening their livelihoods and diminishing the value of skills painstakingly acquired over generations.
