What is the context behind ACC?
Dickens deeply moved by the conditions that poor people lived in and against the Victorian laws (that treated the poor as if they were just lazy)
Popularised empathy for the less fortunate and spending time with family at Christmas
ACC could be seen as a work of protest with Scrooge personifying the harshness of the upper class
Poor law - putting poor people in workhouses
