History
Founded in 1948, the Progressive Party's
first presidential candidate was Henry A. Wallace. The party (which continued
until 1954) opposed the bipartisan Cold War policy, advocated civil rights,
and wanted an extension of New Deal policies. Hugh MacDougall was a student
when the Progressive Party was formed. He collected these materials at that
time.
Scope
and Contents
The
Hugh MacDougall Collection of Progressive Party Papers primarily documents
the Henry A. Wallace presidential campaign of 1948. The papers are largely
comprised of documents published by the Progressive Party such as broadsides,
campaign brochures, party statements, and pamphlets. A correspondence file,
speeches, and clippings make up the remainder of this collection.
