    All of the above. The enclosure acts were a movement by the British government that closed off the commons (communal farming area for a whole village) so that only people who could afford to buy the land could use it. Many farmers at the time relied on the commons as their primary source of food and income and were forced to move to cities like Manchester or London to find work (usually with poor wages inside factories)
