    Together, past historiographical works on Long and Coughlin have labeled them as “demagogues.” However, Brinkley argues against this idea. Brinkley claims that Long and Coughlin anything but demagogues. In fact, Long and Coughlin “were manifestations of the most powerful impulses of the Great Depression, and of many decades of American life before it: the urge to defend the autonomy of the individual and the independence of the community against encroachments from the modern industrial state.” (p. xi) Over…

    “Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlin, & the Great Depression”, by Alan Brinkley, explains the journey, ambition, and purposes of two of the most infamous and memorable political leaders of the 1930’s, Huey Long and Father Coughlin, during one of the most challenging and memorable periods of America’s history.

    Father Charles Coughlin unfairly contended that Roosevelt “double crossed” the American people through a “tax bill of $35 billion (F).” Roosevelt, however, was clear in his inaugural address that he would solve the crisis through “direct recruiting by the government,” an endeavor which evidently would cost money (C).
