==Summary==Hofstader (1964) is a classic examination of fringe groups and conspiracy theories that uses the example of 19th century groups opposed to changes in monetary policy. Hofstadter was inspired by Goldwater's selection as the Republican presidential candidate in 1964. Himmelstein (1992) and Schoenwald (2001) are both political histories of mid to late 20th-century American conservatism. Farmer (2005) takes this back to the Puritans. Farber (2010) prematurely(?) sees American conservatism as in decline. Lowndes (2008) argues that modern American conservatism grow out of an alliance between northern conservatives and southern segregationists.
American conservatism began to get sustained attention from academic historians after Alan Brinkley's 1994 article "Nash (2017) is a Heritage Foundation report about the Problem future of American Conservatismconservatism." Brinkley argued that since historians were generally unsympathetic I may move this piece to conservatism, they tended to ignore conservative movements and thinkers, characterizing conservatives as reactionaries be with Brooks on the wrong side of a progressive historical narrativefree enterprise page. Brinkley's article inspired a generation of historians The author argues that conservatives need to take conservatism seriously. Karin (1996) is review article abut books published after Brinkley's article. Zelizer (2010) is a review essay of work inspired by Brikley's article. Several examples of this work as well as Brinkley's article are included communicate in the History of American Conservatism section belowlanguage that connects with ordinary Americans.

In ''The Southern Tradition,'' Genovese examines the Southern agrarians who he came to admire.

Genovese agreed with the Agrarians participant observer research in concluding that capitalism destroyed those institutionsMassachusetts."

Fitfield, Jr. was a mid century Congregationalist minister who "set about convincing America’s Protestant clergy that America was a Christian nation in which government must be kept from interfering with the expression of God’s will in market economics" Stewart (19922017) and Schoenwald .

As they did, they also fought to take their finances with them, staging an early, though often overlooked, tax revolt, rebelling against the use of their taxes to support municipal spaces and services they no longer used. As this article demonstrates, white flight was not merely a physical retreat of whites from the city to the suburbs. Their withdrawal first unfolded in a less literal sense, as they withdrew their support—political, social, and financial—from a city and a society that they believed had already abandoned them.},

Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, however, so many whites fled the city for the suburbs that Atlanta earned a new nickname: "The City Too Busy Moving to Hate." In this reappraisal of racial politics in modern America, Kevin Kruse explains the causes and consequences of "white flight" in Atlanta and elsewhere. Seeking to understand segregationists on their own terms, White Flight moves past simple stereotypes to explore the meaning of white resistance. In the end, Kruse finds that segregationist resistance, which failed to stop the civil rights movement, nevertheless managed to preserve the world of segregation and even perfect it in subtler and stronger forms. Challenging the conventional wisdom that white flight meant nothing more than a literal movement of whites to the suburbs, this book argues that it represented a more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved. In a provocative revision of postwar American history, Kruse demonstrates that traditional elements of modern conservatism, such as hostility to the federal government and faith in free enterprise, underwent important transformations during the postwar struggle over segregation. Likewise, white resistance gave birth to several new conservative causes, like the tax revolt, tuition vouchers, and privatization of public services. Tracing the journey of southern conservatives from white supremacy to white suburbia, Kruse locates the origins of modern American politics.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.},

==Summary==
American conservatism began to get sustained attention from academic historians after Alan Brinkley's 1994 article "the Problem of American Conservatism." Brinkley argued that since historians were generally unsympathetic to conservatism, they tended to ignore conservative movements and thinkers, characterizing conservatives as reactionaries on the wrong side of a progressive historical narrative. Brinkley's article inspired a generation of historians to take conservatism seriously. Zelizer (2010) is a review essay of work inspired by Brikley's article. Kazin's (1992) review article shows that serious study of U.S. conservatism predates Brinkley's article.
Genovese (1932-2012) a historian of the American South and American slavery, was best known for ''Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made'' (1974), which won the Bancroft Prize in 1975. Originally a Marxist who applied Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony to slavery, Genovese became a conservative while researching 'The Southern Tradition: The Achievement and Limitations of an American Conservatism' (1994), included in this bibliography. In ''The Southern Tradition,'' Genovese examines the Southern agrarians who he came to admire. Per Wikipedia on August 1, 2017, "The Southern Agrarians, [Genovese] noted, also posed a challenge to modern American conservatives who have a mistaken belief in market capitalism's compatibility with traditional social values and family structures. Genovese agreed with the Agrarians in concluding that capitalism destroyed those institutions."
