1. To equalize their relationship with their employers.

Explanation:

This took place in the 18th century, stated to have happened about the late 70's as it was known that artisans slowly started becoming the new kings.

Their trades which ranges from cabinetmaking, baking, butchering, goldsmithing, silversmithing, carpentry, tailoring and also shoemaking.

These workforce were either wage earners, they start as craftsmen and grow to become great entrepreneurs and this got eyes on them causing them to form cults for themselves only to equalize their relationship with their employers.
