Book Overview

""History Of The Anti-Corn-Law League V1"" is a book written by Archibald Prentice that chronicles the rise and impact of the Anti-Corn-Law League, a political movement in 19th century Britain that advocated for the repeal of the Corn Laws, which were tariffs on imported grain that protected domestic farmers but raised food prices for consumers.
