peteglasgow | Greatest Anti-War Song Ever? (372* d) | RE: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever? | 15 Jan 19 |
in 1761 there was a riot in Hexham following attempts (by ballot) of enforced conscription. about 50 people were killed by the military with at least 300 injured. i had heard nothing about this til i saw a plaque in the town square last year. are there songs about it - you would think so given the traditions of the area. or maybe there are no songs - which is why it is not known about so much |
