The emancipation of the peasantry in Galicia …

Years: 1850 - 1850

The emancipation of the peasantry in Galicia (already emancipated under Prussia some two decades earlier) makes the peasant question a central issue—namely, if the peasants can be absorbed into the Polish national fabric or if their first loyalty will be to the partitioning monarchs.

The issue becomes acute in the Russian partition, which had remained passive in 1848.
