Edit: Bearman, why are you talking as if the fact that Democrats were the conservatives of the 19th century is a shocker? Of course they wouldn't sign unless blacks and women weren't allowed to vote. Back then Democrats were CONSERVATIVE.

Conservatism in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From the Wikipedia link you provided

Historian Gregory Schneider identifies several constants in American conservatism: respect for tradition, support of republicanism, preservation of "the rule of law and the Christian religion", and a defense of "Western civilization from the challenges of modernist culture and totalitarian governments."[5] From the late 19th century onward, conservatives have been dedicated to preventing the rise and spread of socialism and communism[6][7]

Hmmm. Doesn't sound like any Democrat at any point in their history. And DEFINITELY not a secular/progressive/liberal. They have always been statists.
