Anti-Jacobin Society

The Anti-Jacobin Society was a political group formed in Britain in the late 18th century, primarily in response to the French Revolution and the spread of radical ideas associated with the Jacobins in France. The society aimed to defend traditional institutions such as the monarchy and the church, and to counter revolutionary influences. It was active in the 1790s, promoting conservative and loyalist views through publications, satire, and public debates. The society played a significant role in the cultural and political discourse of its time, reflecting the tensions between revolutionary ideals and conservative values in a rapidly changing world.
