[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Due to heritage of the area. Most of the aristrocratic English, Scots, Welsh settled there. Is why tea, sweet 16's, big outdoor parties, horse races, brunch and sunday dinner, gowns and dresses, English style horsemanship, etc. are still huge there. [/quote] English Aristocrats didn’t immigrate to USA. People who oppose them did.[/quote] That’s not true. English aristocrats and gentry did immigrate to the southern United States, particularly to colonies like Virginia and the Carolinas, to establish a hierarchical society based on plantation agriculture and a planter class. These immigrants were often second and subsequent sons from the lesser gentry, were motivated by economic opportunities and sought to recreate a social order similar to England's, distinct from the more egalitarian settlements in New England.[/quote]
