5. Conservatives are basically former tories anyway...

The progression is pretty natural. Tories and wealthy aristocrats --> Slave owners, monied families and wealthy merchants --> Former slave owners and poor whites who wish they had slaves, and wealthy captains of industry --> modern conservatives.

Just a little free-thinking with a broad brush...
