SOCIAL REGISTER (TORY - HAUTE BOURGEOISIE) CITIES, SOUTH TO NORTH, THE ONES WHOSE TRADITIONS I KNOW WELL ENOUGH (ALL EPISCOPALIAN):
1. Philadelphia:
Bryn Mawr.
Northeast Harbor.
Concord.
New Haven.

2. New York:
Greenwich.
Fishers Island.
Lakeville.
New Haven.

3. Boston:
Brookline.
Osterville.
Groton.
Cambridge.

CLOTHES FOR THESE FOLKS: Brooks Brothers, J. Press.

COLONIAL COLLEGES, SOUTH TO NORTH:
1. William & Mary.
2. Penn.
3. Princeton.
4. Rutgers.
5. Columbia.
6. Yale.
7. Brown.
8. Harvard.
9. Dartmouth.

COLONIAL CAPITALS/HISTORICALLY ANDOR CURRENTLY LARGEST CITIES IN U.S., GOING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH:
1. San Antonio de Bejar, Tejas (Spain).
2. la Nouvelle Orleans, la Louisiane (France).
3. Charlestown, Province of Carolina (England).
4. Philadelphia, Colony of Pennsylvania (England).
5. Nieuw-Amsterdam, Nieuw-Nederland (Netherlands).

(I've recently discovered it's the South that matters most in concepts of Toriness -- the further South you go, the Torier it gets. East too, though; for a second consideration.)

I also ate today bologna, bread with butter, gumbo canned soup, and applesauce.

I am v. confused right now. Military service is Tory, I guess. Or maybe it all depends on the battle. I thought that the Federalists were Tories; perhaps they weren't. Perhaps the Democratic-Republicans were the Tory party? So confused. Hamilton? Crowninshield? Landed? No?

I want to see how Texas voted (before Texas, Louisiana; before Louisiana, South Carolina). This would be the ultimate Tory list of votes.
