  • “Strom Thurmond's America”
    “Strom Thurmond’s America” Joseph Crespino, Emory University Summersell Lecture Series Alright, good afternoon. I’m going to go ahead and get started. My name is Josh Rothman. I direct the Francis Summersell Center for the Study of the South, which is the sponsor of tonight’s event. It gives me really great pleasure to introduce our speaker this afternoon, Joseph Crespino. He’s currently Professor of History at Emory University. Crespino was born and raised in Mississippi, attended college at Northwestern University, acquired (and I just discovered this today), a master’s in education from the University of Mississippi, and took his PhD in history at Stanford University in 2002. Since receiving his degree, he’s become, I think it’s fair to say, one of his generation’s leading scholars in the postwar political history, bringing special attention to bear on his native south. His first book In Search of Another Country: Mississippi and the Conservative Counterrevolution was published in 2007. It makes a provocative argument that as whites in Mississippi reluctantly accommodated themselves to the changes in the Civil Rights Era, they linked their resistance to a broader conservative movement in the United States and thus made their own politics a vital component of what would become the modern Republican south. In Search of Another Country won multiple prizes, including the Lillian Smith Book Award from the Southern Regional Council, the McLemore Prize for the best book on Mississippi history from the Mississippi Historical Society, and the Non-fiction Prize from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.

  • The Long New Right and the World It Made Daniel Schlozman Johns
    The Long New Right and the World It Made Daniel Schlozman Johns Hopkins University [email protected] Sam Rosenfeld Colgate University [email protected] Version of January 2019. Paper prepared for the American Political Science Association meetings. Boston, Massachusetts, August 31, 2018. We thank Dimitrios Halikias, Katy Li, and Noah Nardone for research assistance. Richard Richards, chairman of the Republican National Committee, sat, alone, at a table near the podium. It was a testy breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club on May 19, 1981. Avoiding Richards were a who’s who from the independent groups of the emergent New Right: Terry Dolan of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, Paul Weyrich of the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, the direct-mail impresario Richard Viguerie, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum and STOP ERA, Reed Larson of the National Right to Work Committee, Ed McAteer of Religious Roundtable, Tom Ellis of Jesse Helms’s Congressional Club, and the billionaire oilman and John Birch Society member Bunker Hunt. Richards, a conservative but tradition-minded political operative from Utah, had complained about the independent groups making mischieF where they were not wanted and usurping the traditional roles of the political party. They were, he told the New Rightists, like “loose cannonballs on the deck of a ship.” Nonsense, responded John Lofton, editor of the Viguerie-owned Conservative Digest. If he attacked those fighting hardest for Ronald Reagan and his tax cuts, it was Richards himself who was the loose cannonball.1 The episode itself soon blew over; no formal party leader would follow in Richards’s footsteps in taking independent groups to task.

  • The Rearguard of Freedom: the John Birch Society and the Development
    The Rearguard of Freedom: The John Birch Society and the Development of Modern Conservatism in the United States, 1958-1968 by Bart Verhoeven, MA (English, American Studies), BA (English and Italian Languages) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts July 2015 Abstract This thesis aims to investigate the role of the anti-communist John Birch Society within the greater American conservative field. More specifically, it focuses on the period from the Society's inception in 1958 to the beginning of its relative decline in significance, which can be situated after the first election of Richard M. Nixon as president in 1968. The main focus of the thesis lies on challenging more traditional classifications of the JBS as an extremist outcast divorced from the American political mainstream, and argues that through their innovative organizational methods, national presence, and capacity to link up a variety of domestic and international affairs to an overarching conspiratorial narrative, the Birchers were able to tap into a new and powerful force of largely white suburban conservatives and contribute significantly to the growth and development of the post-war New Right. For this purpose, the research interrogates the established scholarship and draws upon key primary source material, including official publications, internal communications and the private correspondence of founder and chairman Robert Welch as well as other prominent members. Acknowledgments The process of writing a PhD dissertation seems none too dissimilar from a loving marriage. It is a continuous and emotionally taxing struggle that leaves the individual's ego in constant peril, subjugates mind and soul to an incessant interplay between intense passion and grinding routine, and in most cases should not drag on for over four years.

  • FASCISTS VS FASCISTS FAS Vs
    FASCISTS VS FASCISTS Page 1 of 20 FASCISTS VS FASCISTS FAS vs FAS OLD/N MONEY SPLIT AMONG BOSSES CAN LEAD TO WORKERS’ REVOLUTION Who will rule the USA? Violently opposed camps of established and emerging capitalists are now fighting for state power. Neither group deserves it. Both want it merely to serve their own greedy profit interests. No gang of bosses can govern society in a way that will serve workers. The working class alone, which makes up a crushing majority of the population, must hold power. This goal can be accomplished only through communist revolution. And communist revolution can come about only under the leadership of a Party such as the PLP. Every day brings more turmoil among the rulers. Politicians engage in worse than usual backbiting and mudslinging. Militia members plot and terrorize. The White House comes under investigation. Scandals rock the armed forces. Businesses ferociously attack one another. Sharpening antagonisms underlie and unite these seemingly unrelated events. Newer capitalists are stepping up their bid to grab power from older capitalists; armed conflict becomes a possibility. The Old Guard retaliates ruthlessly against its domestic enemies and, at the same time, moves closer and closer to war in the Middle East. We need to appreciate fully the nature of the current period and understand its specifics. War and fascism are developing rapidly. Our party’s work must conform to this reality. Workers’ lives and the future of the communist movement depend on it. In the midst the bosses’ conflicts, we must not fall into the trap of viewing the major capitalists as the "lesser evil." We have all seen pictures of the anti-government, petty capitalist militias training in the woods.

Media, social groups, and emotions such as fear can im- pact an individual’s choice for a political candidate. This dissertation examines a historical timeline, from the 1930s to the early 1980s, of the interactions of corporations, wealthy individuals and religious leaders.

Based on archival research, primary source materials, and secondary source materials, it is concluded that conservative candidate Barry Goldwater faced numerous instances when his campaign could have been defeated by Republican challengers, campaign blunders, and internal party factions. This thesis focuses on liberal Republican Nelson Rockefeller’s campaign with the intention of articulating the fracturing of the Republican Party in the early 1960s. Rockefeller’s quest for the nomination is emblematic of the changing nature of presidential politics in the post-World War II era leading to changes in voter preferences, campaign tactics, and ultimately the path to the White House.
