dc.description.abstractThe first half of the 19th century and the beginning of British rule in Malta was not a happy time for the Maltese. The population suffered a plague epidemic in 1813 that left the Maltese destitute and very poor. (Clare, 1981: 235-255). Beggars roamed the streets of Malta and Gozo (Bonello, 2013) and many people emigrated to the British possessions in North Africa such as Tripoli, Tunis and Cairo. (Busuttil, 1965: 1-22). The suffering Maltese wanted some say in the decisions that affected their lives and livelihood. The British Government saw Malta as a Fortress Colony and was not ready to compromise its hold on the islands.en_GB
