On April 3, 1913, Emmeline Pankhurst, a suffragette activist, was sentenced to three years in prison for inciting people to destroy the Chancellor of the Exchequer's home. She founded the Women's Social and Political Alliance in 1903 to fight for women's suffrage. Pankhurst, who has tried to go on a hunger strike before while in custody, threatened to do so again. "I may die. "she said. A military leader said,"Various troubles may arise." In fact, a group of suffragettes immediately rushed into the Manchester Art Museum and destroyed 18 paintings. Britain feared that more national treasures would be destroyed.
