Why did Benjamin Disraeli describe Britain as two nations
In the 19th century?
Benjamin Disraeli described Britain as two nations in the 19th century because of two very major roles the rich and the poor back then the rich and the poor were in completely different worlds the rich had a lot of respect royalty and value as for the poor you can say there had nothing in my essay I am going to take you back to the 1900 to tell you the harsh conditions the poor went through as well as how the rich give injustice to the not so fortunate and how the rich lived compared to the poor.
One of the main things that were extremely different was the quality of the houses, the rich had grand houses which would suite there comfort in every way there had heating servants and even toilets to themselves. A Poor persons house in the 1900 wouldn’t have even been well constructed there were holes in the walls which rats came in 20 at a time when it rained there were big leaks from the roofs there had one room/bed for several families and had to share a public toilet that didn’t even flush.
In the 1900 transport was a very big issue because when trains were first released the rich couldn’t bare the filth and the dirt of the poor therefore rich and the poor were split up into completely different platforms the rich had their own comfy seats a had a roof over the top so no rain could get in but for the poor there was only wooden seats and no shelter of course it was cheaper the price for a poor person was about 1 to 2p so it was affordable.
The meals to the rich and the poor were exceptionally different the poor had to have diet (same thing on a daily basis) this would not only get them fed up of having the same thing but it’s not a full complete and healthy diet also there could only afford three meals a day on the other hand the rich had 5 meals a day and
