In 1880 Ireland one act of disobedience changed the world forever. This disobedient act involved standing up to authority in order for the greater population to get what they wanted: fair treatment. This act was disobeying Captain Charles
Cunningham Boycott in a manner that involved no one doing anything that he wanted.
This is where the modern-day term “boycott” comes from, meaning to withdraw from relations with a country, organization or person as a form of protest or punishment. This act of disobedience, “The Power Trip” by Jonah Lehrer and “Group Minds” by Doris
Lessing all have two themes in common: decisions and opinions.
Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott was an unpopular English landlord who moved to the Ballinrobe area in 1873 after an inheritance allowed him to take a thirtyone year lease on three hundred acres near Lough Mask. He also became an agent on the nearly one thousand five hundred acres estate of Lord Erne. There were 38 small tenant farmers on Lord Erne"s estates near Lough Mask and Castlebar.
Captain Boycott was strict with his tenants. Locally he was considered a petty tyrant. Tenants had been used to collecting fallen wood and taking short cuts across the farm. Boycott curtailed these privileges that had previously been enjoyed. He showed no leniency when rents were in arrears.
In 1879 and 1880 times grew hard and again there was famine. Boycott, with instructions from Lord Erne, was prepared to allow a ten percent reduction in the rents.
Most of the tenants insisted on a 25% reduction. Boycott obtained eviction notices against eleven tenants for failure to pay their rent. On September 22, 1880 the local process server, David Sears*, accompanied by an escort of "constabulary" succeeded
2 in serving several notices. Then some local women started to harass Sears and his escort by throwing mud and manure at them while yelling and shouting at them. The ladies managed to intimidate them to the point that they took shelter
