Christian Party (United States, 1930s)

The Christian Party was a fascist American political party founded by William Dudley Pelley in 1935.[1] The party might be considered to be the political wing of Pelley's paramilitary organization, the Silver Legion. It ran with Pelley as its candidate for the 1936 presidential campaign[2] (Silver Legion member Willard Kemp was the Vice Presidential candidate) but was quickly dissolved after the United States entered World War II.[3]
