The Sharing of Communal Property in Artois, 1770-1789.
The Artois Estates aimed at treating the sharing of communal property as a land reform meant, on the one hand, to assuage the small peasantry's craving for land, and, on the other hand, to disentangle the social crisis in rural areas. The sharing, which was undertaken as soon as 1770, met with great success within the first years, mainly in the eastern part of the province which was economically ruled by the Flemish regime. But from 1779 onwards, the authoritarian character of the policy then adopted by the Estates met with determined opposition on the part of the communities. Indeed, the latter had lost some pasture-grounds, the bourgeois landowners had refused to partake in a method of operation which threatened their own privileges, while there prevailed a feeling that the main beneficiaries of the sharing would be the lords who,might generalize the right of preemption.
