Thread Name: Civil War Song
Subject: RE: Civil War Song
Tyler's rebellion was one of a number of Peasant's revolts involving the seizure of common land - all probably produced songs and rhymes The last in England was The Mass trespass protests in Derbyshire in 1932 which gave us 'Manchester Rambler and England's first national Park The Scottish Clearances over the same issue produced quite a few songs in Scots Gaelic - it seems song and land seizure are inseparable Murph Jim
