When did the Luddite riots end?

The Luddites were 19th century artisan textile makers who protested the new machinery brought on by the Industrial Revolution. They felt that it threatened their livelihoods. They protested and destroyed expensive machinery for years. In 1813, the British government effectively put a stop to the Luddite movement by putting more than sixty men on trial for Luddite activities. The men on trial were harshly punished, which kept others from continuing protests on the outside. However, isolated Luddite incidents did continue to happen for several more years.
