Image description

John Bright and Richard Cobden founded the Anti-Corn Law League to abolish the unpopular Corn Laws which protected landowners by levying taxes on imported wheat, therefore raising the price of bread. The Prime Minister Robert Peel, attacked in Parliament by Cobden in 1843, finally repealed the law in 1846.
