Kaliszanie

Kaliszanie

Kaliszanie (literally: "ones from Kalisz") or Kalisz Opposition was a semi-formal political group opposed to the conservative authorities of the Kingdom of Poland in the period preceding the outbreak of the November Uprising. The circle was formed around 1820 by brothers Bonawentura and Wincenty Niemojowski, two liberal politicians from the western provinces of Poland. The group was opposed to the government, yet supported only legal means of political struggle. Its main aims were the defence of the autonomy of Congress Poland within the Russian Empire and the Polish Constitution of 1815. They also played a pivotal role in founding of the National Patriotic Societypl icon cite book | author =Czesław Łuczak | coauthors =Jerzy Topolski, Witold Jakóbczyk | title =Dzieje Wielkopolski (History of Greater Poland) | year =1969 | editor = | pages =822 | chapter = | chapterurl = | publisher =Wydawnictwo Poznańskie | location =Poznań | id = | url =http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC69551538&id=lWsdAAAAMAAJ&q=Kaliszanie&dq=Kaliszanie&pgis=1 | format = | accessdate = ] .
