a very short history of american conservatism:

1776 - royalists who believed that any form of democracy, even that restricted to rich white males, was unworkable and against the will of god

1830s - against the abolishment of the property qualification for voting. believed that the irish were too culturally different from other immigrants to american to ever assimilate into american society

1850s - against restrictions on chattel slavery

1880s - against the idea of working people forming organizations for collective bargaining, against the movement to limit work weeks to 10 hrs/day monday through saturday, against restrictions on child labor

1910s - against national voting rights for women, in favor of segregation as beneficial to “both races”

You left out the conservative values that the Confederacy defended.
