Cold War liberal
Cold War liberal is a term that was used most commonly in the United States during the Cold War, which began at the end of World War II.〔Schlesinger JR, 1962, p37〕 The term was used to describe liberal politicians and labor union leaders who supported democracy and equality. They supported the growth of labor unions, the civil rights movement, and the War on Poverty simultaneously opposing totalitarianism and Communist Party rule, Cold-War liberals therefore supported efforts to contain Soviet communism.
== Birth of liberalism ==
The History of liberalism is the belief in freedom and equal rights generally associated with such thinkers as John Locke and Montesquieu. John Locke’s phrase “life, liberty, and property” is the base of this belief. After the French Revolution overthrew hereditary aristocracy it was the first state in history to implement a document of liberalism and human rights, which was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen which was first codified in 1789. Technically, however, the United States of America is the first country to be considered founded without hereditary aristocracy which implies a liberal nation. This is because its Declaration of Independence states that “All men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among these life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” which stems from John Locke’s statement. This first storm of Liberalism took off which further promoted social activism and civil disobedience within the United States along with other countries.〔Schlesinger JR, 1962, p14〕
