American conservatism did originate in New England. Being settled originally by Puritans will do that to a region. That is why the Federalist Party was rooted there, and probably why there was such a smaller concentration of Loyalists than down south. That is why Cornwallis chose to move the war out of the northeast early in the war. John Adams is iconic as one of that period's leading conservatives.
As for the Virginia Dynasty - it swung both ways. It gave us liberals such as Jefferson and Madison, but it also gave us conservatives, such as Washington, Monroe, and John Marshall.
John Adams was a nationalist federalist. Puritan New England preached central authority, superior religious morality, and looked down upon the rest of the nation as being inferior including Jews and Catholics.
You are the off spring of the New England puritans but your religion is post puritan and secular.
Your historical lies fill this forum with horse dump as much as your claims do that conservatism was a YAN -KEE creation along with your f aux moderate mask which covers a cultural Marxist, economic fascist face.
