Clyde N. Wilson is a Distinguished Professor of history at the University of South Carolina, USA, a paleoconservative political commentator, a long-time contributing editor for Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture and [[Southern Partisan]] magazine, and an occasional contributor to National Review. Wilson is best known for his expertise on the life and writings of John C. Calhoun, having recently compiled all his papers in twenty-eight volumes. He is the M.E. Bradford Distinguished Chair of the Abbeville Institute, an adjunct faculty member of the libertarian Ludwig von Mises Institute, and an affiliated scholar of the League of the South Institute, the research arm of the League of the South.[1]

The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed Wilson among the "ideologues" of the Neo-Confederate movement, claiming (without citation) that he told Gentleman's Quarterly in 1998 that "We don't want the federal government telling us what to do, pushing integration down our throats...We're tired of carpetbagging professionals coming to our campuses and teaching that the South is a cultural wasteland."[2]
