out of the upper classes who were just ready and waiting to embarrass them when they slipped up.

And so Emily Post came and was like, hey, like you said, you don't have to be born wealthy.
voice-verified
You don't have to.
voice-verified
Your ancestors didn't have to come on the Mayflower.
voice-verified
Anybody can learn etiquette and everybody should practice good etiquette.
voice-verified
And that was, again, revolutionary.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And you mentioned the 400.
voice-verified
I read that that was a way for this elite upper class of old money and old lineage to differentiate themselves from the newly minted wealthy people who were starting to rub elbows with them.
voice-verified
That list was one way to do it.
voice-verified
Another way to do it was to found a little village called Tuxedo Park.
voice-verified
a little north of New York City.
voice-verified
And it was created as like an enclave, an escape for the incredibly wealthy old money to get away from new money.
voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And Emily was just doing basically everything that was expected of her.
voice-verified
Like you said, she went to finishing school and at age 17, she premiered at a debutante ball.
voice-verified
I think this is 1889.
voice-verified
Following the script perfectly, she met her future husband at that debutante ball.
