How significant was Catholic Emancipation in 1829?

This lesson has been designed primarily for A Level students studying the significance of Catholic emancipation in the United Kingdom. It focuses on divisions within the Tory Party, the protest methods used by Daniel O’Connell and the Catholic Association and how they in turn influenced the Parliamentary reform movement in Britain. When teaching this module to your students, it is important to stress the role played by Daniel O’Connell in developing the peaceful, indirect methods and tactics that played a crucial role in other later civil rights movements.
