The conservative wet dream is a prosperous but tiny nation of self-reliant and successful citizens (them) ruling an enormous but ruined nation of dependent vassals (the rest of us).
All they want is liberty, the freedom to run their plantations any damn way they please.
You will note, however, that those who subscribe to this philosophy aren't always successful planters themselves. Many are just sharecroppers with delusions of grandeur, or landless peasants desperate to devise a scapegoat on which to blame their own personal failures.
During the Civil War, Johnny Reb didn't always own slaves himself. But he was ready to die for the freedom to do so someday. He fought for his idea of "liberty", one which usually involved someone working for him.
