If your not careful, newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

The Dress Act of 1747 to 1782 prohibited the wearing of plaid in contexts other than military use
In the 1700s, the Scottish military embraced plaid for their uniforms, elevating its significance to a political level due to its association with battles.
After the Battle of Culloden in 1745, the final conflict of the Jacobite uprising, plaid became associated with the Highlander.
As a result, from 1746 to 1782, the English Parliament enacted the Dress Act, which prohibited the wearing of plaid in contexts other than military use. Under this legislation, Scots suspected of supporting the Jacobite rising were forced to take an oath.
In 1782, James Graham, the 3rd Duke of Montrose, achieved the successful repeal of the ban. Subsequently, in 1815, the Highland Society of London acknowledged and officially documented all the tartans associated with various family clans.Nevertheless, the prohibition of tartan had effectively suppressed the traditional Highland dress, causing it to lose popularity for at least one generation. During this time, numerous skilled traditional tartan weavers had passed away, resulting in the decline of this craft.
