In a poem by Charles Surein, The Red Petticoats and Yankee Daoile mock the rush for foreign fashion and Ho to imitate abroad. The speaker calls for genuine American independence and a truly Yankee nation, contrasting poetry and identity with imported styles and ideals.
The piece argues that true politeness is essential for success and social harmony, compares manners to a guiding machine, and urges men to refine dress around a central idea, especially a strong neckwear focal point. It warns against vanity and extols unobtrusive courtesy as a social lubricant.
