How Far Do the Sources Suggest That, in the Jackson Marriage Case of 1891, It Was Mr Jackson Who Had “Right Upon His Side”?
How far do the sources suggest that, in the Jackson Marriage Case of 1891, it was Mr Jackson who had “right upon his side”?
The sources agree with the statement to a noticeable extent that the husband did have the right to take away his wife if she refused him. Source 11 strongly supports this because it gives an atmospheric description of the scene how there were “Groans, hisses and yells were given for Mrs Jackson” which highlights she is being criticised for going against her husband, while the rest of the crowd were singing “’he’s a jolly good fellow’, for her husband”. This source was written by the Cliteroe times when the verdict of the original court was in favour in Mr Jackson therefore; the purpose of the source was to show that Mrs Jackson was in the wrong for going against her husband’s will and returning to her sister’s home, it shows that everyone believed that he had the right to have control over his wife. It is an eyewitness account which happened at the time of the event which is useful in identifying that Mr Jackson had right upon his side. Source 12 has a similar view of the situation as is states that “the law court agreed and decided in favour of Mr Jackson” and that people saw this as a “romantic abduction” and people detested Mrs Jackson’s and her friends opposition to the case and exaggerating the event as a kidnapping. Both sources highlight that they were written in influence by the law court and the societies response to the case that Mr Jackson did have right upon his side and were in support of him. However, source 11 can be unreliable because without a doubt the article had overturned the verdict of the original court which had ruled in favour of Mr Jackson, which shows that the article changed their decision and believed that Mrs Jackson had the right to leave and that she was being treated cruelly by the public’s reaction as well as major unrest and violence in the area caused by this case.
Source 12 distinctly acknowledges that

    As explained in this chapter of Davidson and Lytle’s After the Fact: The Art of Historical Detection, a historical theory is not necessarily a clear and definite principle about something, rather it is an untested hypothesis. Historians incorporate many factors into their theories to help explain events and support their hypotheses, and these focuses affect their basic understanding of history. This is commonly referred to as “Grand Theory”—an overall explanation of phenomena in a particular discipline or realm of experience such as economics, sociology, or history. As we saw in the previous chapter on the Salem Witch Trials, each historian's input and perspective introduced new possibilities and explanations…

Rose goes on to talk about how Women were for the first time able to divorce their husbands on a “number of special grounds including lunacy, desertion, injuries, condemnation as a criminal”. Although Rose states all these ways in which women gained more status societal as well as political her ultimate focus Is the same point in which I have come to determine in my readings of the various Articles assigned to me, that even though Women gained these rights. They were if anything temporary. As stated by Rose in her article “The Napoleonic Law Code of 1804 proclaimed a uniform regime of Patriarchy which entrenched again most of the oppressive features of the chaotic family law of the old Regime”. Showing that the ideas of freedom and hope for the rights of Women that bloomed out of the French Revolution were crushed along with any other forms of hope for human rights that might have come out of the Revolt of the lower class…
