John Bright was born in Rochdale, England. He was a British Liberal politician, one of the greatest orators of his generation and a promoter of free trade policies. He is most famous for battling the Corn Laws. In partnership with Richard Cobden, he founded the Anti-Corn Law League, aimed at abolishing the Corn Laws, which raised food prices and protected landowners' interests by levying taxes on imported wheat. The Corn Laws were repealed in 1846. He sat in the House of Commons from 1843 to 1847, and 1857-1889, promoting free trade, electoral reform and religious freedom. He was almost a lone voice in opposing the Crimean War. He also opposed Gladstone's proposed Home Rule for Ireland. He coined the phrase "Mother of Parliaments."
