***When has this ever happened to anyone?***
***Ruy here apparently thinks that a caste system exists within America.***

During the 1880’s this handshake was standard for the “common” people. Only the Elete got the full handshake.

One man in in the church of england got the two finger handshake and was so angered he went, joined and became a leader the English-Irish version of the restorationist movement (totally separate from the American version).

Hill’s Manual of Social and Business Forms by Thomas E. Hill (1881) clearly shows the two finger handshake.
