Stewart (2017) led me to research James W. 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 (2017). Fitfield's legacy is central to Kevin M.Kruse's " One Nation under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America" (2015). Kruse, a historian of the American South at Princeton University, argues that the idea of the United States as a christian nation grew out of opposition to the New Deal 'when Corporate leaders allied with conservative clergyman [like Fitfield] to promote 'Christian libertarianism' (Kerstetter 2016). Kruse has previously written a prizewinning history of desegregation in Atlanta. One Nation under God has been positively reviewed, although reviewers are not convinced that corporations played a significant role in promoting Christian libertarianism. The positive reviews included here include Hart (2015), written by a professor at Hillsdale College, published in the Wall Street Journal. Toy (1970) is a history of Fitfield's spiritual mobilization movement. Harvey (1971) discusses the tensions between Fitfield's congregation and its parent denomination.The other articles Haddington (2010) and Harvey (1970) in this subsection are from publications Rice does not subscribe to.

abstract = {Focusing on the city of Atlanta in the late 1950s and early 1960s, this article examines the ways in which the desegregation of public spaces, such as golf courses, buses, and parks, helped crystallize two central elements of suburban conservatism—privatization and the “tax revolt.” As such spaces desegregated, white Atlantans fled from them and created private alternatives instead. 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.},

abstract = {During the civil rights era, Atlanta thought of itself as "The City Too Busy to Hate," a rare place in the South where the races lived and thrived together. 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==
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.
Nash (2017) is a manifesto Heritage Foundation report about the future of American conservatism. I may move this piece to be with Brooks on the free enterprise page. The author argues that conservatives need to communicate in language that connects with ordinary Americans.
McGirr (2015) and Nickerson (2009) are a social histories of mid 20th-century conservatism in southern California. Williamson, Skopal, and Coggin (2011) is a sociological study of the emergence of the tea Party with participant observer research in Massachusetts.
