To the OP: Much of American values of etiquette and protocol comes from the English and French royal courts, just for some historical perspective.
Might I suggest reviewing Rudyard Kipling's "If", another great example of "class", IMHO.
IMHO, the United States does not have a legal "class" structure. Any "class" structure that you observe publicly is not legally based on current government-approved structure.
But, as far as your definition of "class", MysticCat's is probably the most accurate description. I would call that "Character".
And I was always taught that you have a million dollar person and a ten cent person. A million dollar person can put on a ten cent suit and still be a million dollar person. But a 10 cent person puts on a million dollar suit, you still have a 10 cent person...
