=Urban Society=

Urban society included; high society, the middle class-gentility, and the working class. The high society class made fashionable districts in the heart of the city. They were able to construct different kinds of homes including; a feudal castle, and English manor house, etc. As homes grew larger, more people were able to have servants such as cooks, maids, butlers, etc. As a result, they spent a lot of their money on social activities. The middle class was expanded by American industrialization. They included; doctors, lawyers, engineers, managers, social workers, architects, and teachers. By the nineteenth century, most middle class families had at least one live-in servant. Women went to "Women's clubs" which lead to charitable and reform activities. The working class lived in tenements. The average industrial worker's annual income was only $445. They had to stretch their money far.
