Q- ‘Enclosures filled the pockets of the English landlords but the poor faced hardships’. Justify the statement.
Answer- It is correct that ‘Enclosures filled the pockets of the English landlords but the poor faced hardships’. Because during the enclosure there was a big demand of food grains as the population of England rose rapidly.
So the rich farmers took advantage of this condition and enclosed more land under them and started producing more food grain and earned a large profit at that time. But the poor farmers cannot even afford food grains to feed their family. In this way the rich farmers earned a lot of profit and poor faced hardships to feed their family.
