The name Chartist was a derivation from their petitioning activities, which culminated in the presentation of three People's Charters to parliament in 1838, 1842, and 1848. While unsuccessful in achieving their immediate goals, the group became a potent symbol of early working-class political agitation, for radicals and conservatives alike.enChartistsChartismWorking ClassHistory of BritainHistorySocial HistoryProtestFranchiseLaborLabor MovementBook chapter10.1111/b.9781405184649.2009.00327.x
