[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You can't be serious. LMAO Good lord if you are, then life must be confusing to you. 
Landed gentry were a big thing in the colonies. Much land bestowed by the crown.

Same in Spanish countries, grants from the crown. [/quote]

A lot of second and third sons who had to strike out on their own because of primogeniture laws.[/quote]

Second sons usually had some options. The church or the military, or just even hanging around in case the first son had a death by misadventure.

I agree, third and up sons really had it hard. The thing was to get a land grant using the family name in the colonies and attempt to strike it rich.[/quote]
