FAQ About Charles Stewart Parnell
Why was land reform significant during Parnell's leadership?
Land reform was significant during Parnell's time because many Irish farmers were tenants facing high rents and the threat of eviction, leading to poverty and social unrest. Parnell championed land reform to reduce rents and provide security of tenure for tenant farmers. This was a major issue of the Land League, an organization Parnell was a prominent leader in, aiming to improve living conditions and economic stability for the Irish populace.
