The Rebecca Riots were a series of protests that occurred in Wales during the 1830s and 1840s, primarily driven by local farmers and laborers. They arose in response to the high tolls imposed by turnpike trusts on rural roads, which were seen as exploitative and detrimental to the livelihoods of the agricultural community. Protesters, often disguised as women named "Rebecca," vandalized toll gates and engaged in violent confrontations with authorities in their fight for economic justice and better access to transportation. The riots reflected broader social and economic grievances, including issues of land ownership and the impact of industrialization.
