tenant league
The Tenant League in Prince Edward Island was a 19th-century agrarian populist movement whose goal was the "dismantling of the proprietary land system" in that province.〔(Book Review: The Tenant League of Prince Edward Island, 1864–1867: Leasehold Tenure in the New World. )〕
==Context==
The League was formed in response to the Absentee Landlord Question, which arose in 1767 when King George III divided the island into 67 lots, which he allocated to his supporters by lottery. Many tenant farmers in the province were unhappy with their inability to gain title in the land they worked. Most also faced burdensome rents.
The grants were conditional on certain settlement conditions which were often not fulfilled. However, the political connection of the grantees generally meant that the government could not or would not contest them, in spite of calls from the province's tenants.〔(The Absentee Landlord Question - Prince Edward Island. )〕
