Historians generally portray the 1950s as a conservative era when
anticommunism and the Cold War subverted domestic reform, crushed
political dissent, and ended liberal dreams of social democracy.
These years, historians tell us, represented a turn to the right, a
negation of New Deal liberalism, an end to reform. Jennifer A.
Delton argues that, far from subverting the New Deal state,
anticommunism and the Cold War enabled, fulfilled, and even
surpassed the New Deal's reform agenda. Anticommunism solidified
liberal political power and the Cold War justified liberal goals
such as jobs creation, corporate regulation, economic
redevelopment, and civil rights. She shows how despite President
Eisenhower's professed conservativism, he maintained the highest
tax rates in US history, expanded New Deal programs, and supported
major civil rights reforms.
