Southern Upper-class status is commonly derived from the social position of one's family and not from one's own achievements or wealth. Many old money families of the Southland are not as wealthy as people are led to believe. Many of them live relatively modest lives but still hold a high social ranking because of their family name and their historical position in the South; they are the guardians of Southern Culture and Southern Hospitality or Polite Society. Many upper class families with Southern planter ancestry are descended from the medieval kings of Christendom, especially those of the Ancient Kingdoms of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Scandinavia and the Netherlands. Southern colonists of high social status were younger children of English aristocratic families who came to America looking for land because, given their birth order, they could not inherit. Many of these colonist maintained a very high standing anywhere they settled. They could often claim royal descent through a female line of their prestigious family. These same Southern American families today remain the upper class of Southern Society, because they descend from the 17th-century A.D. British colonists who had royal descent. There were at least 650 American colonists with traceable royal ancestry, these colonists with royal descent settled in every American colony yet a large majority lived in the Massachusetts Colony or the Virginia Colony. Several of these families which settled in those colonies, over the two hundred years or more since the colonial land grants, married their branches together to the point that almost everyone of these families today are somehow closely related to each other. In the American Southland these Southern aristocratic families by their birth right, through their ancient bloodline are still the elite social class of the remnants of the old Southern Colonies and the Southern Confederacy. It was these families, the Christian Royal Decedents from the Virginia Colony, which settled throughout the Southland becoming the elite governing families of the entire South. Even today the members of these families somewhat covertly still project their influence on Southern Society, in order to promote peace and prosperity for all Southern peoples and to assure their social status as the Christian Political Leadership of the Southern States. The "Bourbon Aristocracy” old plantation owning families of aristocratic noble and in some Southern families even Royal lineage were of great importance in the South during a certain period in Southern history due primarily to their ownership of vast tracts of land. These families still exist as a distinct social class throughout the Southland. Their manner and speech pattern is noticeably different from most other Southerners, and they always stand out when around others, and sometimes their conversation and actions which tend to be conservative in a deep rooted Puritanism makes other
