They only had respect for themselves but not for one another.

Was respect really absent? I agree that respect was sometimes lacking, but that rested with the Southern interpretation of respect. They liked to envision themselves as gentlemen so they had to embody respect at some point.

I think that conformity can relate to conservatism, since Southerners were afraid to go against the status quo- Sam

Traits absent from Nineteenth Century Honor Code

# data[].attributes.body
Respect was a main trait that was missing from the Nineteenth Century Honor code. They cared mostly for themselves and their self-image. Without respect they often get into fights because they don't understand one another.

Traits that were glaringly absent in the honor code included fairness, respect and intelligence. The honor code tended to focus more on a person's reputation rather than a person's actual personality and nature. Fairness was absent as the south emphasized maintaining a high ranking rather than equality and fairness. Intelligence was also glaringly absent because the south was very passionate about government and control. If more of the citizens became educated, they would have more of a reason to revolt since they would be more knowledgeable.

Courage was one of the most valued traits, because any southern man from the nineteenth century would have done anything to preserve his stats as a courageous man; he would even go as far as a dueling with another man and risk being killed in order to avoid being called a coward and show courage. Thomas Nelson Page says, "That the Southerner was courageous the whole world admits...It was personal individual courage and devotion to principle which welded it together and made it invincible..." (Page 186).

Conservatism was a way of life and was a way for the south to keep everyone in line. Also this was a way to keep order and domination. In addition, the ways of conservatism allowed everyone to be on equal footing and allowed everyone in the south to be centered around the same values.
