- Biography / History
- Jouett Shouse was President of the American Liberty League from 1934 to 1938. The American Liberty League was formed by conservative Democrats who opposed President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The League argued that the New Deal was a threat to personal liberty, and published pamphlets and sponsored radio programs to garner support. The American Liberty League declined in popularity during the late 1930s and was officially dissolved in 1940.
