In April 1812, the Luddites attacked William Cartwright's mill at Rawfolds near Huddersfield. The event was described by Charlotte Brönte in her novel Shirley. Cartwright and a few soldiers held the mill against about 150 attackers, two of whom were killed. The following week an attempt was made on Cartwright's life and on 28 April William Horsfall, another manufacturer, was killed.
Luddites were angry and attacked William's mill because they lost their jobs. Machines do more work than mans.
Spies from goverment helped to stop the Luddites. Ludittes were sent to Australia as convicts or killed.
