It is proposed that this is a natural form of societies development, from earlier stages of development. In "Tribal" societies you had 3 basic classes, the "Young" who were unable to work (produce) the production class (middle age) and the old who produced less, but knew more. In Middle Aged societies you often found "Caste" based systems, as in lower class people who handled all the necessary grudge work (cleaning sewers, dealing with the dead, etc.) the 'production' class (craftsmen: blacksmith's etc), and then the 'ruling' class.

Its necessary to understand "money" at this point, as between these two types of society the biggest change was the creation of money; pre-money it was a barter system, then the transition was the creation of 'bills' for trade. To detail this by example - pretend you had Chickens and wanted to trade for a Plow, but the man with the Plow wanted a Cow. It just so happens the man with the Cow wants Chickens, so, you get a "bill" - "Good for one Cow" and give him your Chickens, take the "bill" to the man with the Plow - and everyone is Happy. This system was refined to eventually create money.

When you combine the "Caste" type system with a "Money" type system (as society naturally progresses) you end up with the 'classes' you asked about. Although there is a lot of argument about what defines each class, it is in all essence a antiquated classification system of a primitive society (that we are still dealing with).

Stonewall Jackson rich or poor?

Stonewall Jackson was not extremely rich, but he was financially comfortable for much of his life. He came from a poor family and faced financial struggles after his father died when Jackson was still young. Over time, his military career and teaching positions gave him a more stable income. He worked at the U.S. Military Academy and later became a professor at the Virginia Military Institute before the Civil War. Jackson owned some property and enslaved people, which were considered assets in the economy of that time, but he was not among the wealthy elite. Overall, he is better described as **moderately well-off rather than rich**, especially when compared with wealthy plantation owners of the 19th-century South.
