The fall of the Napoleonic era marked a time where new social systems had risen. The time period during the post Napoleonic era was characterized by a struggle between revolutionary and reactionary forces. Two of the social systems that occurred during this time period were liberals and conservatives. The liberals of the society in Europe were well known for their rank in class. They were addressed as the upper class or nobles. While conservatives were the lower class who were usually unemployed and had to earn everything they needed in life.
