Description:
This paper examines what happened during the Skimmington Riots and the so-called rough music accompaniments that took place in England and Colonial North America, events which were largely crowd phenomena that were highly influenced by the tradition of charivaris in France in the late Middle Ages. To determine precisely what happened during these social conflict events and why, the paper provides a critical analysis of recent historic writings concerning the history of crowd violence, the effect of colonial laws, or the lack of laws on such incidents, the role of women and society and culture's effect on the colonies. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
