15 Apr 1934 Jahr - America First Union Party Founded

Beschreibung:

The America First Party was founded in 1934 by Senator Huey Long of Louisiana. After the defeat of the Democratic Party in the 1932 presidential election, Long decided to create his own party to support his growing "Share Our Wealth" program. With its support centered on the depressed agricultural regions of the South and Midwest, the America First Party called for redistribution of wealth and social welfare, but within a strong centralized corporatist economic structure, controlled by a paternalistic economic and political elite.
