It was a difficult time for many people, mostly poor people and women because they didnt have any legal rights. Women could not own property or vote, and poor people didnt have any legal protection, most lived in poverty, or lived in unsuitable conditions in work houses. Many familys that ended up in debt went to the work house, but they were split up. Children were made to work in dangerous conditions and many of them had no education. This time was just before the chartist movement, which campaigned for these people to have rights, so in political terms, everything was uneasy. This was a time when equality barely existed. But for the fortunate wealthy people, life couldn't be better, most had stately homes and country parks, were educated, fashionable etc... although they were worried about the unwealthy gaining the upper hand.
