Walsall

Charles, Fred, c1860-c1930

A biography of early British anarchist Fred Charles who was accused in the Walsall Anarchist frame-up.

Born Frederick Charles Slaughter, Fred Charles was a leading light within the very active Norwich branch of the Socialist League in the 1880s. The Socialist League was a revolutionary socialist organisation that had broken with Hyndman’s Social Democratic Federation, some because of their dislike of the autocratic Hyndman, some because of their dislike of Hyndman and his politics.
