Podcast Episode 85: Josiah Bailey and The Conservative Manifesto

Most people have never heard of Josiah Bailey of North Carolina. He was one of the few voices railing against the excesses of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and helped author “The Conservative Manifesto” in 1937. Garland Tucker featured him in his Conservative Heroes, a nice little book that is a good companion to Forgotten Conservatives in American History. I discuss Bailey, Southern Democrats, and the Manifesto in this episode of the Brion McClanahan Show.
