Question

why were threshing machines opposed by the poor in England​

Answer 1

The poor people opposed it because for them it was the sign of bad times..

The machines reduced the dependence of landowners on labourers and led to their displacement....

Many a poor lost their jobs during the threshing season and had to tramp long distances to seek alternate employment in other villages or cities....

Machines gave landowners bargaining powers and reduced the status of the poor to wage earners.

Answer 2

Hey Mate Heres the ans ;

The poor labourers lived and worked on the land of the rich farmers for their livelihood and survival. During the Napoleonic wars the rich farmers introduced the threshing machines which reduced the demand for labour, as a result of which unemployment increased among the labourers. The poor labourers thought that the machines were taking away their jobs and livelihoods and so they opposed the threshing machines and started destroying them and threatening the rich farmers to stop using them.
