About this listen

Episode 101: In our premiere episode, Marshall, Blake, and Mike begin a series on the America First movement. Marshall takes us through the movement’s development from the earliest use of the term “America First” in the 1880s, when it advocated the protection of economic and business interests, to a growing emphasis on deeper issues of American identity, notions of American cultural and ethnic purity and a yearning for a return to an earlier, more rural time in the face of increasing immigration, the rise of organized labor, entanglements in European affairs, The Birth of a Nation, the rise of the “second” Ku Klux Klan, the 1916 election, and America’s entry into World War I.
