Conservatives and progressives......nineteenth and twentieth century versions....
Funnily enough, if one looks back at the radical Whigs, who evolved over here into the American rebellion group, but among whom were also Tory loyalist types, the roots of our progressivisms, and conservatisms, were sort of related, and confused together, back then. They still are.
As Bailyn implies, both arose out of opposing ideologies, in the left and right opposition to the likes of Walpole.
