What Was the Legacy of the Diggers?
Upvote:2
My memory may fail me, as this isn't a period I have studied in detail; however I believe that as stability returned after the chaos of the Civil War, the Diggers (like the Levellers and the Fifth Monarchy men, and other more out-there groups [look up Thereau John* if you want to see the more lunatic fringe!]) were suppressed. Their main impact on later times seems to be as an inspiration (/cautionary tale).
*aka Thomas Totney, as apparently Thereau John doesn't show up any good results.
