YES, THERE WERE ALSO AUTHORITARIANS

John Dean introduced me to the work Robert Altemeyer has done on modern-day authoritarians and their connection to the movement conservatives and since then I've been looking for signs of this personality type in political and religious leaders in the past.  Forrest McDonald has pointed out that what he calls "puritanical republicans" have similar personality traits which were enlivened in the aftermath of Shay's Rebellion:

Puritanical republicans felt comfortable in a state of crisis or with a sense of impending doom: only when the world seemed or could be made to seem to be coming to an end was their militance necessary or desirable. Success, wellbeing, happiness, otium, were not only alien to them, they were a threat to them. Thus when a genuine crisis, or the appearance of one, was thrust upon them, they agonized verbally, but they inwardly rejoiced: they and their militance were justified and in demand. That they might have to reverse their previously declared positions disconcerted them not at all. For the sole change of mind of which an ideologue is incapable is that of ceasing to be an ideologue. (McDonald, p. 181)
