Articles relating to social conservatism, a political philosophy and variety of conservatism which places emphasis on traditional power structures over social pluralism.[1][2] Social conservatism in North America rose in the early 19th century as a reaction to the perceived anti-Christian and anti-constitutional aspects of slavery, as articulated by William Wilberforce and Abraham Lincoln. They also engaged with the economic insecurity of lower-class Protestant Americans, McCarthyism and other challenges to social institutions. Social conservatives often promoted the organisation and politicisation of social issues.
