The conservative coalition,founded in 1937,was an unofficial alliance of members of the United States Congress which brought together the conservative wings of the Republican and Democratic parties to oppose President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. In addition to Roosevelt,the conservative coalition dominated Congress for four presidencies,blocking legislation proposed by Roosevelt and his successors. By 1937,the conservatives were the largest faction in the Republican Party which had opposed the New Deal in some form since 1933. Despite Roosevelt being a Democrat himself,his party did not universally support the New Deal agenda in Congress. Democrats who opposed Roosevelt's policies tended to hold conservative views,and allied with conservative Republicans. These Democrats were mostly located in the South. According to James T. Patterson:"By and large the congressional conservatives agreed in opposing the spread of federal power and bureaucracy,in denouncing deficit spending,in criticizing industrial labor unions,and in excoriating most welfare programs. They sought to 'conserve' an America which they believed to have existed before 1933."
