Line 306:
After 1852 the Whig Party was never able to obtain real power again and was eventually replaced by the pro-abolitionist Republican Party with many Republicans such as [[File:Lincolnism.png]] [[National Liberalism|Abraham Lincoln]], [[File:Hayes.png]] [[Mediocracy|Rutherford Hayes]], [[File:Arthur.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|Chester Arthur]], and [[File:Harrison.png]] [[Protectionism|Benjamin Harrison]] all being former Whigs.
=== Chateuabriand ===
François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand (4 September 1768 – 4 July 1848) was a French writer, politician, diplomat and historian who influenced French literature of the nineteenth century. Descended from an old aristocratic family from Brittany, Chateaubriand was a royalist by political disposition. In an age when large numbers of intellectuals turned against the Church, he authored the Génie du christianisme in defense of the Catholic faith.
===[[File:TradConAlt.png]] '''Traditionalist Conservatism'''===
'''Traditionalist Conservatism''' is like modern conservatism in many ways, such as acceptance of a basic welfare state and support for free market policies and nationhood. However they tend to have more radical views on social issues, such as LGBT and women's rights, being seen as the radical wing of modern conservative parties occupying similar roles to Addington did to Pitt. Traditionalist Conservatives are nearly entirely extremely religious, more often than not the dominant religion of their home country, and are strongly against moderation and acceptance of social consensuses such as the gay rights (which are now, in Europe, considered centrist) and abortion (similar, in Europe alone) historically they would've opposed women's suffrage too but they have accepted that that is going to stay. If they are active within a monarchy they can be strong defenders of the monarchy as well as being able to work with [[File:Patcon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism]] and [[File:Conlib.png]] [[Conservative Liberalism]] in order to advance their own goals of tradition, morality and faith.
