 Approaching Conservatism | Leonard Moore | OAH Magazine of History
Throughout the last third of the twentieth century, the growing power of political conservatism in the United States was nowhere more evident than in intense, often bitter disputes involving education.
But conservatism itself remains a peripheral subject in prevailing narratives of American history, gaining recognition primarily in terms of its opposition to other, seemingly more dynamic forces (the rise of the welfare state, civil rights crusades, or the women's movement), or as examples of dark undercurrents in the national heritage (racism, xenophobia, and Red Scares).
Teaching about conservatism has also been limited by what might be termed a liberal state paradigm, a prevailing interpretation of modern American history built around the rise and fall of political liberalism, progressive interventionism, and the welfare state.
