Boycott

On the estate of Lord Erne of Connemara, Ireland, the foreman of the grounds made a lot of enemies through his harsh methods of collecting rent from the tenants. One day the farmers got angry and refused to work the land. The name of the foreman who inspired such venom was Captain Charles C. Boycott.
