Take the following as truth: Liberals have been like the pre-Civil War Whigs, at least as rendered by Louis Hartz in his classic Liberal Tradition in America . The Whigs kept seeing the proles through the lens of Europe's old feudal societies, imagining that America's lower orders wanted to seize property rather than acquire it.
Then the following statement: "The Whigs framed things like in the feudal societies, being very paranoid about their property." is true, false, or inconclusive?
