Hide Profile

The American Liberty League was launched on August 22, 1934. The League's board of directors included Irénée du Pont, Pierre du Pont, John Raskob, and Jouett Shouse. The aim of the Liberty League was to build opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, which during 1933 and early 1934 had enacted a program to regulate American business. The Liberty League was also opposed to the Wagner Act, which set up the National Labor Relations Board, as well as to government sponsored public works programs and relief efforts. Though much of the Liberty League's original membership consisted of conservative Democrats like Alfred E. Smith, after 1936 it became losely affiliated with the Rebublican Party supporting both Alfred Landon and Wendell Wilkie for President.
