“Ummmmmmmm.......no.”
Ummmmmmmm.......yes. I searched google books for all of about 20 seconds, this was one of the first that came up.

Here is another. Search these books for the word conservative and see what you get. No really, you won’t be surprised. It’s predictable propaganda.

Historians are a big time source of attacks against those of us as conservatives and the Civil War Buffs aren’t a known body of stalwarts against this.
in my post I was disputing that the south is in fact the pinnacle of conservatism...I went on to say that it is not devoid of some conservative notions, but I would dispute that it is anything near the pinnacle. That is, if one uses a Burkean definition of conservatism, which I think we should all do.
That some historians say that the South is the pinnacle of conservatism as a way to belittle conservatives and call them racists is not relevant.
