Class and social values

Decline in deference
704,803 men died ww1

Life in trenches made everyone familiar- shared experience




Decline in the upper class
Reason Fact Impact

disproportionately 1914 deaths: Six peers Sixteen Death duties - unable to now afford to
high deaths for baronets Six Knights 261 sons of maintain stately homes- sold to national trust,
aristocrats aristocrats hospitals or schools

1914- less than 10% owned land Less power wealth and asset; CA: Duke of
Elder sons had to
they worked on : 1930- this had Portland owned 8 houses in 1914 : 1939 he
sell land
risen to 33% still owned 4



Greater equality and housing
1918 representation of the people act

More democratic

People can improve through work

Number of house occupiers rose; growing suburbs

10% owned houses in 1914 and 32% owned houses in 1938

Had more house security, not in squalor as the beveridge report outlines

Growing working class in the late 30s




Class wars

Class and social values 1

, Cyleside and Tyneside- impoverished areas- were threats of open revolt

1926 general strike

The times- attacked strikers : “unpatriotic class warriors”

Rare class conflict into 30s however

Conservative have both support of classes

Great Depression- undermined working class solidarity as union membership declined
due to unemployment

Growth of new jobs and affluence in the south and midlands

Unions in affluent areas unlikely to strike with northern.




World War Two
Experience of the war shared

Britain has a classless county

Social revolution

Evacuation and hardships of rationing banded everyone together despite class difference

Co-operation and unity

Child psychologists Susan Isaacs and Anna Freud 1939- rural homes reinforced class
prejudices; widespread phenomenon of bed wetting ( sign of emotional distress)- this is
blamed by the host families upon the working class upbringings




Politics
Labour ministers criticise House of Lords and elitism; eton and harrow- show be
abolished

The labour landslide victory was less a revolt against the class system and more about
the hardship of 30s (in 1945 “let us face the future”)

Shows lack of change; not dramatic
