John Frost

John Frost was a British soldier and a leader of the Chartist movement in the 19th century, advocating for political reform and universal suffrage in Britain. He played a key role in the Newport Rising of 1839, a major attempt by Chartists to demand voting rights and parliamentary reforms. Frost believed in using collective action to achieve social justice. Despite being seen as a revolutionary at the time, his efforts laid groundwork for future democratic reforms in Britain. His leadership and sacrifice made him an enduring figure in British history’s fight for political equality.
