Work

Did the rich and poor communicate/work together?

No, the rich and poor did not generally work together. The had very different occupations, for the rich would usually receive tertiary education earning them higher class jobs such as doctors and people working in medicine or business men. But, the poor would not receive education after primary and would work in the factories. Their two occupations would not usually mix unless a rich man was the head of a factory. They would work in town and not in the slums of Richmond where the poor would work. As for the women, the rich would just work in their homes or with their other rich friends and the poor women would work in the factories too or in their homes in the slums, causing no contact between the rich and poor. The rich and poor children would not mix either because the rich would either play in their gardens, or would be forbidden to play in the town’s streets like the poor children did.
