Jacobite pamphlets

Jacobite pamphlets were printed materials produced in the 18th century to promote the Jacobite cause, which sought to restore the Stuart monarchy in Britain after their ousting in 1688. These pamphlets included political arguments, appeals to emotion, and stories of lost rights and royal legitimacy. They aimed to garner support for uprisings against the ruling Hanoverians and were an essential form of propaganda, shaping public opinion during a time of political turbulence. By using persuasive language and vivid imagery, they played a significant role in rallying support for the Jacobite movement.
