So let's not hear any more of: the South has always been "more conservative than thou" talk, OK?

What is more conservative than taking a stand on states rights, willing to risk everything for it?

“[T]he principle for which we contended is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form."

          ---Jefferson Davis

States Rights within the Constitution: wonderful and conservative.

Violent and unconstitutional efforts to assert States Rights: not wonderful and not "conservative."
