"Julian Pleasants argues that Reynolds must be understood in the context of Depression-era North Carolina. An ardent New Dealer, Reynolds favored federal intervention to regulate banks, extend cheap credit, and provide housing and jobs for those unable to find work. He capitalized on the discontent of the poverty-stricken lower class, campaigning as a poor man against his wealthy opponent, incumbent senator Cam Morrison." "Fleshing out a man typically dismissed as a stereotypical southern demagogue, Pleasants reveals Reynolds to be a showman of the first order, a skilled practitioner of class politics, and a unique southern politician - the only one who favored the New Deal while advocating isolationist views."--Jacket. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Reynolds, Robert Rice, |d1884-1963. 650 0 Legislators |zUnited States |vBiography. 610 10 United States. |bCongress. |bSenate |vBiography. 651 0 United States |xPolitics and government |y1933-1945. 651 0 North Carolina |xPolitics and government |y1865-1950. 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:Pleasants, Julian M. |tBuncombe Bob. |dChapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, ©2000 |w(OCoLC)606405633 776 08 |iOnline version:Pleasants, Julian M. |tBuncombe Bob. |dChapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, ©2000 |w(OCoLC)607857404 830 0 James Sprunt studies in history and political science ; |vv. 63. 856 42 |3Table of contents |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy053/00044732.html 856 42 |3Book review (H-Net) |uhttp://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0c0c7-aa 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/unc041/00044732.html 852 0 |bstacks |hE748.R37 |iP58 2000
