Succeeded in moving residents, those in the minority (10)
I believe the answer is:
dissenters
'succeeded in moving residents those in the minority' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'succeeded in moving residents' is the wordplay.
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'residents' with letters rearranged gives 'disenters'.
's' inserted within 'disenters' is 'DISSENTERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dissenters that I've seen is " Nonconformists".)
