true
we don't put our elbows on the tables because the lower class did that when they were tired
The system of government by privileged citizens or the upper class is called aristocracy.
The colonial class system was organized based on money and prestige. The more money you had and closer you were to the leader the higher you were in class.
The class system focused on ones wealth and property ownership, and it was easy for an individual to move up and down in class. The caste system is based on ancestry and background, so it was very unlikely that someone's position in the caste system could change.
The largest social class in Colonial America was the middle class. The highest class was the gentry.
Those who were not merchants, and those who lived on the frontier. Those who lived in the Tidewater area were usually considered to be higher class. The class system of the colonial era was determined more by location, religion, and race rather than blood (as it was in England). It was more mobile, also, than the feudal system of England.

There were several different social classes in Philadelphia during the colonial period. The top class decided on laws and regulations, the next was considered the gentry. Gentry ran most everything. Under the gentry were the middle class and then the lower class.
Originally the American Revolution enforced the class based system against monopolistic corporations in the United States; this didn't last long however.
