Everything about Liberty Party United States totally explained
There have been two
political parties called the
Liberty Party in the
United States:
Liberty Party of 19th century
The
Liberty Party was a minor political party in the 1840s. The party was an early advocate of the
abolitionist cause. It broke away from the
American Anti-Slavery Society due to grievances with
William Lloyd Garrison's leadership. The party first gathered in
Warsaw, New York, and its first national convention took place in
Albany on April 1, 1840.
The Liberty Party nominated
James G. Birney, a Kentuckian and former slaveholder, for President in
1840 and
1844. The party didn't attract much support. In
1848, the party met in
Buffalo, New York, with other groups to form the
Free Soil Party.

Liberty Party of 20th century
In the early
1930s, there was another American party called the
Liberty Party, based on the economic theories of
W.H. "Coin" Harvey (1851–1936) (found mainly in his book,
The Book). Harvey was initially its 1932 presidential candidate, and they held their convention at his resort,
Monte Ne. However, the Liberty Party ended up merging with the
Jobless Party, and Harvey ran for president as an independent. He came in 5th, receiving about 53,000 votes.
