The Liberty Party was a short-lived political party that operated in the United States during the mid-19th century. The Liberty Party was founded in 1838 by Horace Greeley and ran candidates in several states in the hope of achieving national recognition and influence. However, the Liberty Party failed to gain significant support and was disbanded after only two years. The Liberty Party's brief existence has been noted for its efforts to promote libertarianism and its criticism of the American political system.; 236 pages.
