The Peterloo Massacre - Handout

Aimed at a higher age group, this is an ideal work pack for a history / politics class looking to understand more about democracy and reform.
The Peterloo Massacre was an important event in local history. This handout contains an overview of the Peterloo Massacre which explains the reasons why people were protesting and the consequences of the massacre.

PLEASE NOTE - this work pack is rather text heavy. The Peterloo Massacre also covers sensitive topics about the right to protest and talks about police brutality with descriptions of violence, injury and murder and should be navigated with sensitivity. As such this work pack is aimed an older student body.
