Running Head: HUEY LONG POLITICAL SYSTEM. LOUISIANAN POOR RESIDENTS
My Standpoint: Huey Long as an Iconic Figure in Louisiana History
Huey Long reined the State of Louisiana as governor in (1928-1932) and Senator in
(1932-1935) maintained. He is an icon and the most famous person who lived during pre and
post First World War in the world politics absolute control of the highly centralized form of
government in history. Secondly, Huey Long spent his childhood during the populist's
upheavals; his family was neither populist nor socialist. Majority of the resident considered Huey
Long as a rival to Roosevelt for the presidency of the United State of America.
The author quoted the exact words from the eyewitness at Huey Long's funeral, it is
critical to note the existence two sides of the political divide, the ruling and the oppositions the
noncompliant party the so-called political watchdogs in the state of Louisiana. From the
eyewitness statement, I can clearly tell he was a sadist at this point of celebrating the end of an
era of such an iconic leader. The enemy of progress sacrificed Huey long’s strong personality he
had built for decades he lived. He went on to crucify him describing the “crowded thieves and
sycophants he kept close to him.
The author, William Ivy Hair shows how Huey Long fought for the plight of the
underprivileged groups of Louisiana residents who held a strong belief that he was their savior.
Secondly, Huey Long impacted on millions of lives in Louisiana State. Additionally, he used the
initiative Share our Wealth program to provide free education, homestead exemption, Veteran
bonuses and shorter workweek for all employees. Long’s humility depicted on the statement on
that he would never case in against the poor. As a matter of fact, Huey Long was determined to
alleviate status of his people immigrant blacks and white penniless. He had visible developments
to his people; he had worked so hard to ensure the residents got necessities of life such as lunch
in schools and mean of transport to access various part of Louisiana.
