Best Answer

Aside from aristocrats who had inherited wealth sometimes going back centuries, a wealthy middle class formed. They were likely to be "new money" having acquired their fortunes recently, most likely through industrialization. They were factory owners or in professions like law and medicine. In many cases, since they did not have a background of wealth, they assumed the affectations of old monied families. Morally, they were either of the mindset that people like them deserved to rule over the poor, thus having little sympathy for the unfortunate or they were "do-gooders" involved in charity work aimed at helping the downtrodden.
