Jacobite manifestos

Jacobite manifestos were documents produced by supporters of the Jacobite movement in Britain, which aimed to restore the Stuart monarchy to the throne after their ousting in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. These manifestos outlined the reasons for supporting the Stuarts, often criticizing the ruling government and advocating for the rights of Catholics and Scottish autonomy. They served to rally support among the populace for various uprisings, notably during the 1715 and 1745 rebellions. Overall, Jacobite manifestos reflected the political, religious, and national aspirations of those who sought to reinstate the Stuart kings.
