Opposition to the PLAA was
widespread in the 1830s
Tags
intro:
the PLAA was passed in 1834 sought to improve the efficiency of relief provided to the
poor and to save costs.
it can be argued that opposition to the PLAA was widespread in the 1830s to a certain
extent even though opposition was heaviest in northern England as seen through the 10
hours movements and actions of John Fieldan in 1837 the ACT also faced opposition in
the rural South in areas like Buckinghamshire and East Anglia
main body:
1) protests and uproar began to emerge sporadically from southern areas like
Buckinghamshire and East Anglia after 1854
these protests attacked the imposition of the act due to the unnecessary centralization of
poor relief and bc it disrupted the matron servant relationship that existed
the presence of opposition to the PLAA shows that opposition was widespread bc even
though they were accurately represented by the act southerners opposed certain aspects
of the act,
mainly the centralization and loss of autonomy in regards to enforcing poor relief
the fact that the anti poor law movement was short lived also shows that opposition
with two widespread as the movement lacked sufficient organization
2) it can be argued that opposition to the PLAA was focused in northern England due to the
role of Richard Oastler and his involvement in the 10 hours movement
the northern population were always opposed to the act as the london-based Commission
that created it focused only on the South when conducting its research
the northern population felt misrepresented and that the terms of the act failed to cater
to their regional needs
eg The act was only imposed up north by guardians in 1837 when there was an
industrial downturn
the northern industries also faced cyclical short term unemployment
∴ admittance to work clauses and the separation of families wouldn't help the
situation
