    Hirohito was a prince and Roosevelt was old money. Idk about Eisenhower but American generals historically come from well to do backgrounds.

      After a cursory glance it seems like Eisenhower’s family would’ve been firmly middle class, not great but not bad either. So pretty standard merchants.
