Légende
Great meeting in Rhode Island, 1844. Crowds gathered in Rhode Island, USA, to listen to Thomas Wilson Dorr, leader of the Dorr Rebellion. Dorr encouraged the disenfranchised, (ie non-landowners), to demand changes to the state's electoral rules - at that time the state was still using its 1663 colonial charter as a constitution. 'Among the banners we noticed the following, carried by the ladies, which fully evince their spirited feeling on this occasion: " We are Rhode Island women - friends of Liberty, Freedom, and equal and just laws"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
