Correct Century?
[edit]The first section gives 19th. C dates, whereas the second section gives 18th C. dates. Are these two different events, or does one or the other section have incorrect dates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Don Argus jr (talk • contribs) 06:31, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- I am not well versed on his topic but it appears there was a similar unrest in 18th century I think a good merging is sorely needed here

Merge proposal
[edit]Why someone would think that it is a good idea to have duplicate articles with different names that will each end up edited in different ways, is beyond me. I am undoing the arbitrarily removed merge proposal in hopes a logical reason to have two of the same article is advanced JGVR (talk) 02:37, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- "Anti-Rent Movement" is a redirect. What are you proposing to merge? Tiderolls 02:42, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- seeing ZERO activity on talk page led me to believe someone just undid the proposal as someone's past performance has demonstrated would likely be the case

- Editing by divination seems a bit labor intensive. You should learn to read revision histories, the rewards in time not wasted is appreciable. Tiderolls 02:50, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

influence on other political movements in upstate NY
[edit]I am a history hobbyist chasing 70 years of age. I lived much of my younger years in upstate NY. There were "folk" legends linking the anti-rent riots with other radical movements happening in the upstate area during or in the near time. I heard claims linking these protests to abolitionism, women's rights, religious revivals, and the Oneida Community. There was certainly a lot of wild movements in the upstate area in the first half of the nineteenth century. I think that many of the very wealthy families from the N.Y. area felt they had a heritage connecting them to the old manor owners and they endowed many of the historical sites and societies in the upstate area. It seems reasonable that they might not have been thrilled with histories that painted the old manor owners as exploitive and disliked by the "lower" classes. Not perhaps out and out suppression but perhaps just a little downplaying.
For example, I lived for 7 years in Sullivan county and was told by several locals, Wurstboro was going to be named "Livingston Manor" by developers because it was thought to be a classy name for the growing resort businesses, but the Livingston family was remembered with so much hatred because their manor had either had been over that land or near it and the locals put up a fight. So the developers ended up giving the Livingston Manor name to a town the other side of the county. Again, I went to Lakeland High School in the town of Cortlandt, but we were told by older people to say we were from north of Peekskill because they said their grandparents hated the Cortlandt family. Supposedly this is why it is Lakeland School District and not the Cortlandt School District and the Peekskill riots are named for Peekskill and the not for Cortlandt where they actually happened. Finally, on a seperate subject there was a story of a murder related to the anti-rent movement in I think the 1880's, but you have everything calming down by 1850. Do you have any record of the fighting going on into the second half of the nineteenth century? 67.183.214.61 (talk) 02:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- @67.183.214.61 This is the same history hobbyist. There is a song available on line by Ryan Harvey that ties the anti-rent wars into politics of today called, "Hudson Valley Rent Strike". This is very much like the sort of folk history/myths I was hearing in the 1965-85 period from old radical types. I will try to post a link in reference. The rich of the Hudson Valley and Long Island had close ties and seemed to have identified with the old manor families. They also endowed most of the museums and historical sites in NY. 67.183.61.133 (talk) 17:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
