The Peterloo Massacre of 1819, where cavalry charged into a peaceful demonstration for political reform in Manchester, resulted in significant consequences. It led to heightened public awareness of the need for political representation and reform in Britain, ultimately sparking movements for change. The event also prompted the government to impose stricter laws on public assembly, but it galvanized reformers, contributing to the eventual expansion of suffrage and the representation of the working class in the political process.

A meeting was called to protest unemployment and high food prices and to demand political reform giving working class people the right to vote. 60,000 people gathered, including women and children. City officials were alarmed at the high number of people and ordered the citys cavalry to arrest the speakers and disperse the crowd. Professional soldiers were also sent to join the charge. The rout lasted about 10 minutes and left approx 500 people injured and 11 dead.
The Peterloo Massacre occurred on August 16, 1819, in Manchester, England, when a peaceful rally demanding political reform and the extension of suffrage was violently dispersed by cavalry. Approximately 60,000 to 80,000 people gathered at St. Peter's Field, but local authorities, fearing unrest, sent in armed forces. The attack resulted in the deaths of 15 people and injuries to hundreds more. This tragic event highlighted the growing discontent with the political system and ultimately galvanized the reform movement in Britain.
